letter: <mi>ϖ</mi> (Unicode character U+3D6, ϖ).
\varprime (math symbol)
The \varprime command is valid only in math mode. It generates
<mo>′</mo> (Unicode character U+2032, ′), this is a prime
character (not supposed to be used as an exponent like \prime).
\varprojlim (math command)
The \varprojlim command is a variant of

\vartriangleright (math symbol)
The \vartriangleright command is valid only in math mode. It
generates <mo>⊳</mo> (Unicode character U+22B3, ⊳).
\vbadness (internal integer)
If you say \vbadness=26, then TeX will show all vboxes with badness
greater than 26. This parameter is ignored by Tralics, since no
badness is computed. (See scanint for
details of argument scanning).
\vbox
You can say \vbox to 3cm{xx} or \vbox spread 3cm{xx} or simply
\vbox{xx} (see scandimen for how
dimensions are read). The effect is the same: it translates the xx
locally in a group and puts in an anonymous box (the result is
<>xx</> and this is printed as xx). The result can be used as a
box for other operations.
X\setbox0=\vsplit 25 to 4cm \box0Y.
X\setbox0=\vtop to 2cm{x}\box0Y.
X\setbox0=\vtop spread 2cm{x}\box0Y.
X\setbox0=\vbox to 2cm{x}\box0Y.
X\setbox0=\vbox spread 2cm{x}\box0Y.
X\setbox0=\hbox to 2cm{x}\box0Y.
X\setbox0=\hbox spread 2cm{x}\box0Y.

\vcenter
The \vcenter command is valid only in math mode. A vbox is formed as
if \vcenter had been \vbox. Then a new Vcent atom is appended to
the current math list, and the box becomes its nucleus. (Citation from
the TeXbook, Chapter 26).
In Tralics an error is signaled, because of limitations of MathML. As
a consequence, the command is allowed only outside math mode, and
behaves like \vbox. For instance \vcenter to 5pt {\bf toto}
creates an anonymous element contains `toto’ in bold-face font.
\vdash, \vDash, \Vdash, \VDash (math symbol)
\vdash command is valid only in math mode. It generates a
relation symbol: <mo>⊢</mo> This is the Unicode character
U+22A2, ⊢; there is a variant U+22A6 ⊦ that looks the same. The
command \vDash is similar, it produces character U+22A7, ⊧ it has
a double horizontal bar; the command \Vdash is similar, it
produces character U+22A9 ⊩, it has a double vertical bar; finally
\VDash produces character U+22AB, ⊫ that has a double vertical
bar, and a double horizontal bar. These commands can be negated via
\nvdash, \nvDash, \nVdash, \nVDash.
See description of the `\le <doc-l.html#cmd-le>`__
command.\vdots (math symbol)
\vdots command is valid only in math mode. It generates a
miscellaneous symbol: <mo>⋮</mo> (Unicode U+22EE, ⋮) .See description of the `\ldots <doc-l.html#cmd-ldots>`__
command.Note: since this is defined in LaTeX by
\def\vdots{\vbox{\baselineskip4\p@ \lineskiplimit\z@ \kern6\p@\hbox{.}\hbox{.}\hbox{.}}},
we allow it outside math mode, translation is a math formula in this
case.
\vec
\vec command puts a vector accent over a kernel. It works only
in math mode. See also the `\acute <doc-a.html#cmd-acute>`__ command.\vector
You say \vector(dx,dy){length} in order to put a straight line (with
an arrow tip) into a picture. See description of the
`picture <doc-p.html#env-picture>`__ environment for the syntax of
the (dx,dy) part, and some examples. In general, the \vector is
the argument of a \put(x,y){} command, and the (x,y) positions
indicate the starting point of the line segment; the arrow head is at
the opposite end. Quantities dx and dy should be small integers
(at most four in magnitude) and coprime (in fact, Tralics really does
not care). If dx=0, then length is the length of the line;
otherwise, length is the length of the horizontal projection of the
line.
\vee (math symbol)
The \vee command is valid only in math mode. It generates a binary
operator: <mo>∨</mo> (Unicode character U+2228, ∨).
\veebar (math symbol)
The \veebar command is valid only in math mode. It generates the
operator: <mo>⊻</mo> (Unicode character U+22BB, ⊻).
\verb
Translation of \verb+foo+ or \verb*+foo+ is the same as
\verbprefix{\verbatimfont foo}. Any character can be used instead of
the Plus sign as delimiter. Any character between the two delimiters
(include backslash, brace, dollar signs etc) are considered as normal
characters. Translation of a space is a non-break space in the
non-starrred version, and a visible space character otherwise. Example
Verbatim test
\verb-\verb+ { } $$-.
\verb*-\verb+ { } $$-.
\let\verbatimfont\it
\verb +x+ !
The translation is
<p>Verbatim test</p>
<p><hi rend='tt'>\verb+ { } $$</hi>.
<hi rend='tt'>\verb+␣{␣}␣$$</hi>.
<hi rend='it'>+x+</hi>!</p>
Preview:
Look carefully at the last example. The character that follows the
\verb command is a space, and this space plays the role of the
delimiter. Remember that spaces at end of line are removed, so that the
exclamation point at the end of the line cannot be removed.
verbatim (environment)
The verbatim environment lets you enter text in a mode where special
characters like braces, dollars and backslashes are not interpreted.
Characters like less-than, greater-than, and ampersand are escaped. Do
not confuse with the rawxml environment, for which these characters
are not escaped.
\begin{verbatim}
{\let\rm\bf \bf toto}
<!--this is a comment -->
$ not = EURO !
\end{verbatim}
\begin{rawxml}
{\let\rm\bf \bf toto}
<!--this is a comment -->
$ not = EURO !
\end{rawxml}
Here is the translation. By default, in verbatim mode, spaces are
translated into character U+A0 (non-break space) that looks like a
space. As you can see, Tralics inserts from time to time a <zws/>
element; this is done to inhibit ligatures, for instance between two
dashes. You can inhibit this behavior by calling Tralics with the
option -nozerowidthspace. You can use the option -nozerowidthelt, in
this case the element is replaced by the zero-width space character
U+200B.
<p noindent='true'><hi rend='tt'>{\let\rm\bf \bf toto}</hi></p>
<p noindent='true'><hi rend='tt'><<zws/>!-<zws/>-<zws/>this is a
 comment -<zws/>-<zws/>><zws/></hi></p>
<p noindent='true'><hi rend='tt'>&dollar; not &equals; EURO
 &excl;</hi></p>
{\let\rm\bf \bf toto}
<!--this is a comment -->
$ not = EURO !
See also: `rawxml <doc-r.html#env-rawxml>`__ environment
and `\fvset <doc-f.html#cmd-fvset>`__ command (this explains how
spaces are translated in verbatim mode). See also Verbatim below
for how fonts are chosen.Note: The end of a verbatim-like environment is defined by a line that
contains: optional spaces, the token \end, optional spaces, the name
of the environment in braces (for instance the tokens {verbatim}),
optional spaces, and nothing else. A line that does not match this
pattern is part of the verbatim-like environment. The syntax changed in
version 2.10.7: the nothing else has been removed. If anything remains
on the line, it is assumed to be on a line that follows the environment.
Example.
\begin {verbatim}
This is a verbatim_line %
\end {verbatim}OK?
Translation, with no-break space character shown as entities
<p noindent='true'><hi rend='tt'>This is a verbatim_line %</hi></p>
<p noindent='true'>OK?</p>
Verbatim (environment)
The Verbatim environment is an extension of the verbatim
environment. There is an optional argument, an association list. If you
say numbers=true, then lines will be numbered, starting from 1. If
you say numbers=N, where N is a number, then the counter number N
will be used; instead of a number, you can also give a counter name.
If a line number M is given, the following piece of code is inserted
before the verbatim line: {\verbatimnumberfont{M}}\space. The funny
command is \let equal to \small at the start of the run.
The line itself is evaluated via
\verbatimprefix{\verbatimfont theline}, where the second funny
command is \let equal to \tt at the start of the run. In the
example that follows, the redefinition is not good.
Some features defined by the fancyvrb package has not yet been implemented.
Characters after \begin{Verbatim}, but on the same line, are
ignored. The same is true if an optional argument is given: all
characters that follow the closing bracket of the optional argument are
ignored. The opening bracket is only looked for on the current line
(unless the end of line character is commented out).

Preview: 
Two additional keywords style and pre have been added. If you
say style=foo, then the token \FV@style@foo is added in front of
the token list generated by the verbatim environment. If you say
pre=bar, then \FV@pre@bar is added before the token list (and
before the style token mentioned above), and \FV@post@bar is
inserted near the end (to be precise: before the last \par or
\par\noindent. The fancyvrb package defines the value associated
to style=latex and pre=bar as follows
\def\FV@pre@pre{\begin{xmlelement*}{pre}}
\def\FV@post@pre{\end{xmlelement*}}
\def\FV@style@xml{\XMLaddatt{class}{xml-code}}
Then the translation of
\begin{Verbatim}[pre=pre,style=latex,numbers=true]

\verbatimfont
This is a command, defined by Tralics, that holds the command used to
typeset verbatim material (either verbatim environment, or \verb
command). An example of use is shown above. The initial value of the
command is \tt.
\verbatimnumberfont
This is a command, defined by Tralics, that holds the command used to
typeset line numbers for verbatim material (Verbatim environment).
An example of use is shown above. The initial value of the command is
\small.
\verbatimprefix
This is a command, defined by Tralics, that holds the command used to
typeset verbatim environment; see below. The initial value of the
command is \empty.
\verbprefix
This is a command, defined by Tralics, that holds the command used to
typeset verbatim commands. The initial value of the command is
\empty.
Each line of a verbatim environment, or each verbatim word, is typeset
using \verbatimfont; this command takes no argument. You can use
\verbatimprefix and \verbprefix, a command that takes as
argument the augmented line. There are two different commands, so that
you can, for instance, typeset environments in a smaller font.

\Vert, \@Vert (math symbol)
\Vert command is valid only in math mode. It generates a
delimiter (double vertical bar). The character associated to the
delimiter is ∥, Unicode U+2225, ∥. The \@Vert
produces | Unicode U+2016, ‖ this is a variant. See description of the `\vert <doc-v.html#cmd-vert>`__
command.\vfil
According to Knuth, \vfil is essentially equivalent to
\vskip 0pt plus 1 fil. In Tralics, this command terminates the
current paragraph and inserts a <vfil/> element.
\vfill
According to Knuth, \vfill is essentially equivalent to
\vskip 0pt plus 1 fill. In Tralics, this command terminates the
current paragraph and inserts a <vfill/> element.
\vfilneg
In Tralics, this command terminates the current paragraph and inserts
a <vfilneg/> element.
\vfuzz (rigid length)
\vfuzz=5pt, as a result TeX will complain about
overfull vboxes only if they are overful by more than 5pt. This is set
to 0.1pt by LaTeX, and to .5pt by \sloppy. Ignored by Tralics. (See scandimen for details of
argument scanning).\voidb@x (constant)
The value of the command is a reference to a box register, that should
be kept empty. If you \unhbox\voidb@x, the following happens: in
vertical mode, a new paragraph is started (this may add a paragraph
indentation, as well as the tokens in \everypar); after that, since
the box is empty, nothing happens. This is how \leavevmode is
implemented in LaTeX.
\@vpt, @vipt, \@viipt, \@viiipt (constant)
These four commands expand to 5, 6, 7 and 8 respectively.
\@vobeyspaces
This command makes the space character active, the expansion being
\nobreakspace. Note that \obeyspaces makes the space an active
character, it assumes that the translation of a space is \space,
hence \@vobeyspaces should be used only in a group.
\voffset (rigid length)
\voffset=.5in, as a result TeX will shift by .5in
vertically the box put by \shipout in the dvi file. Not used by
Tralics. (See scandimen for details of
argument scanning).\vphantom
See `\hphantom <doc-h.html#cmd-hphantom>`__.
\vrule
See `\hrule <doc-h.html#cmd-hrule>`__.
\vsize (rigid length)
\vsize=15in, as a result TeX will use this quantity as
the page height. Ignored by Tralics. In LaTeX, the document class
should specify \textheight, from which \vsize is deduced. A
LaTeX document should neither access nor modify the \vsize
variable. (See scandimen for details of
argument scanning).\vskip, \vglue
The \vskip command takes a glue value as argument, for instance
\vskip 15pt plus 2 fill. Only the fixed part of the glue is
considered. It is adds spacebefore='15.0pt' as attribute to the
current paragraph. The \vglue command is a bit more complicated in
LateX, but implemented in the same way in Tralics.
If the configuration file contains att_space_before = “foo” then foo
is used instead of spacebefore as attribute name. The same can be
achieved by saying \ChangeElementName*{space_before}{foo}.
If Tralics is in vertical mode, a new paragraph is started (and this
paragraph gets the attribute). If it is in horizontal mode, and the
paragraph is not empty, a new paragraph is started. Otherwise, if the
paragraph has already a spacebefore attribute, the sum of the values
is considered.
Note that \\[1cm]\\[2cm] creates two paragraphs. On the other hand,
the commands \bigskip \medskip and \smallskip call
\vskip, so that \smallskip\smallskip is the same as
\medskip.
\vspace
The translation of \vspace{xx} or \vspace*{xx} is the same as
\vskip xx\relax. See above.
\vsplit
\setbox0=\vsplit 25 to 4cm, then box0 is set to a vbox
of height 4cm; it is formed by some material taken off from box 25,
using a least-cost algorithm. What happens in Tralics is that
nothing is moved. Said otherwise, box25 is left unchanged, and the box
produced by \vsplit is empty. See `\vbox <doc-v.html#cmd-vbox>`__\vss
The \vss command is like \vfil, but inserts a <vss/>
element.
\vtop
This is the same as `\vbox <doc-v.html#cmd-vbox>`__.
\Vvdash (math symbol)
The \Vvdash command is like `\vdash <doc-v.html#cmd-vdash>`__,
it produces character U+22AA, ⊪; there is a triple vertical bar.
