Figure 6.4:  Building many elements simultaneously

Figure 6.4 shows how the COBUILD:  command might be used. It shows two assignments being made, which include quantities which we assume to be elements constructed beforehand or components. The INDEX:  commands set the range of indices to be tex2html_wrap_inline36088 and tex2html_wrap_inline36090 . Finally, the COBUILD:  command constructs simultaneously the elements tex2html_wrap_inline36092 , taking into account any explicitly defined beliefs about existing elements, and functionally defined beliefs expressed for components and between elements and components. A second example is shown in Figure 6.5.
