Hi,
What is the context equivalent of latex's substack? How do I type the following $$ \sum_{\substack i \in P \ j \in Q} a_{ij} $$
I search on source browser shows that this command was defined in newmat but pruned out. Is there a replacement for it? Is it safe to simply copy the definitions from m-newmat.tex and use them in my project?
Thanks Aditya

Where is that defined? LateX gives me and 'Undefined control sequence', and with \usepackage{amsmath} I get no error, but not a stack either.
The definition from m-newmat is at least partly superceded by the new core math definitions Hans added last week, so a new implementation would be better.
Cheers, Taco

This is defined in amsmath. Sorry, I made a mistake in typing. It should be
$$ \sum_{\substack{ a \ b}} c $$

Can you suggest something?

Like this maybe?
\def\substack#1% {\begingroup \let\\cr \startmathmatrix #1\stopmathmatrix \endgroup}
Probably needs a bit of tweaking to make it look better (perhaps a [strut=no] parameter?).

What about use math primitive \atop:

Sorry for not getting back for almost a month. Both suggestions work only partially. Consider
\startmathformula \sum_{% \startmathmatrix i = 1 \NR i \neq n \NR i \neq m \stopmathmatrix }a_i \stopformula
As Taco mentioned, the spacing is bad.
\atop gives correct spacing but you need to put subscripts in groups of two.
\startformula \sum_{ {i = 1 \atop i \neq n}\atop i \neq m } a_i \stopformula
Moreover, the font size is incorrect in both cases. Compare with the size of the subscript in \sum_{i = 1}.
Any suggestions?
Aditya
Does this look ok? (code is not production-ready yet, but seems reasonable to me)

[code snipped]
Yes, looks good to my eyes. Thanks a lot.
