The @kbd{d T} (@code{calc-tex-language}) command selects the conventions
-of ``math mode'' in the @TeX{} typesetting language, by Donald Knuth.
-Formulas are entered

+uses @TeX{} as its formatting engine. Calc's @LaTeX{} language mode can
+read any formula that the @TeX{} language mode can, although @LaTeX{}
+mode may display it differently.
+
+Formulas are entered and displayed in the appropriate notation;
+@texline @math{\sin(a/b)}
+@infoline @expr{sin(a/b)}
+will appear as @samp{\sin\left( a \over b \right)} in @TeX{} mode and

Complex numbers are displayed as in @samp{3 + 4i}. Fractions and
-quotients are written using @code{\over};
-binomial coefficients are written with @code{\choose}.
-Interval forms are written with @code{\ldots}, and
-error forms are written with @code{\pm}.
-Absolute values are written as in @samp{|x + 1|}, and the floor and
-ceiling functions are written with @code{\lfloor}, @code{\rfloor}, etc.
-The words @code{\left} and @code{\right} are ignored when reading
-formulas in @TeX{} mode. Both @code{inf} and @code{uinf} are written

-@code{inf}.

Function calls are written the usual way, with the function name followed
-by the arguments in parentheses. However, functions for which @TeX{} has
-special names (like @code{\sin}) will use curly braces instead of
-parentheses for very simple arguments. During input, curly braces and
-parentheses work equally well for grouping, but when the document is
