It makes typesetting beautiful mathematics really easy and is very convenient to use. 1. There is no need to use \left and \right to make delimiters fit their content. (, ) and others automatically scale and they do so cleverly, not like \left and \right. 2. Backping "`" can be used to typeset the following word in roman letters, that is, $`Mat_{n,m}$ or $`GL(n)$ can be used instead of $\Mat_{n,m}$ and $\GL(n)$ where I also have to make up a macro for every abbreviation. 3. Multiline subscripts are made by just typing a \\. 4. There is a \wall-\return construct that makes alignment nice too. 5. Fractions are also handled cleverly. Please take a look at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/nath/nathguide.pdf I don't consider Nath to be perfect, but it is indeed better than both regular LaTeX and Plain TeX. -- Emil Hedevang Lohse Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme.
