[comp.unix.questions] LATEX news group?

gefuchs@wotan.uucp (Gill E. Fuchs) (01/01/89)

Hello there,

Is one LATEX NEWS GROUP in existance?  If so, how would one get to it?
As i can't tell if one exists, i decided to post my question to the
UNIX news group.

  question:  how can one produce in latex a symbol that is used often
             in the AND THEREFORE part of a deductive logic argument?
             That symbol is a collection of 3 dots in a triangle (base
             on the bottom side) following a slash?  The 3 dots is the
             difficult part... :-)

             in an enlarged view it would look (somewhat) like so:

                     /  .
                    /  . .


much obliged for anyone who could help

Try "comp.text". It discusses this kind of problems. Most items in that
group are about Tex, Latex and Troff.

The symbol you want can be generated with the individual parts (the
slash and 3 dots) and moving them around. (there is "raise" and "lower"
for vertical movement and "kern" for horizontal i believe)

Paul.
