112.0. "Question about <delayed> tag" by CASEY::BURACK (Not Fade Away) Tue Apr 11 1989 15:01

    Hi,
    
    I noticed something about using the <delayed> tag with <emphasis>,
    <quote>, <mcs>, <math>, and <math_char>. Is this only within the
    context of the <gterm> tags, or any time these tags are nested within
    another set of tags, for example <head1>(Minus Sign <math>(<minus>)).
    
    Thanks,

112.1<delayed> tag used only within certain tagsSTAR::BUTTLARDick ButtlarTue Apr 11 1989 16:356

    As far as I know, you only need to use <delayed> to enclose
    tags nested within <gterm>, <msg>, and <msgs> tags.

    There are other instances where the <delayed> tag is necessary.
    For example, if you use <define_symbol> to associate a string of
    text with a symbol and that string of text has embedded tags
    within it, you would need to use the <delayed> tag. The cases
    where <delayed> is needed are those for which some action is
    taken on string in pass one of the tag translator: <delayed>
    tells the tag translator to 'delay' the expansion of the embedded
    tags until they are written out to the TeX file in pass two.
