 Produce a mathematical array.  This environment can only be used in math
 mode, and normally appears within a displayed mathematics environment
 such as @code{equation} (@pxref{equation}).  Column entries are
-separated by an ampersand at domain.hid{&}.  Rows are terminated with
-double-backslashes at domain.hid{\\}.  The required argument @var{cols}
-describes the number of columns, their alignment, and the formatting of
-the intercolumn regions.

-The @code{array} environment is just like the @code{tabular}
-environment but entries are typeset in mathematics mode, in textstyle

+There are two ways that @code{array} diverges from @code{tabular}.  The
+first is that @code{array} entries are typeset in mathematics mode, in
+textstyle (except if the @var{cols} definition specifies the column with
 @code{@@p@{..@}}, which causes the entry to be typeset in text mode).
