[texhax] LaTeX command \leq and \leqslant

[Konstantin Karapetyan]

Dear Patric,

I wonder what packages you use. Below is an example which works fine
with my MiKTeX 2.4:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
$1 \leqslant 2 \leq 4$
\end{document}

Regards,
KK.

P.S. You probably wanted to say \leq = “less or equal”.
