[texhax] On the \\ problem

[Michael Barr]

To all those who suggested changing \\<NL><NL> to \\<NL> it doesn't and 
really cannot work.  I got some mysterious error messages (mostly owing to 
\\ followed by a blank line inside xy-pic constructions, although one I 
couldn't track down).  But I fixed that and compiled the document.  The 
trouble is that now the entire article (or, to be precise, each chapter) 
is now a single paragraph and set that way.  Thus there are no \parskip 
and no \parindent and, while you could omit either one, you cannot omit 
both and have a readable document.

Thanks for trying.

Michael
