%\begin{abstract}
%This document describes the package \textsf{esdiff} that makes
%writing derivatives very easy.
%It allows to write derivatives, partial derivatives, multiple
%derivatives.
%Some typographic options are available.
%The macro about crossed derivatives was given on
%\texttt{comp.text.tex} by Peter Schmitt.
%\end{abstract}
%\section{Derivatives}
%
%\DescribeMacro{\diff}
%
%Derivatives are obtained with the command \textsf{diff}.
%
%To get $\diff{f}{x}$, just write |$\diff{f}{x}$|.
%
%The ordre of the derivative can be set in square brackets.
%So |$\diff[n]{f}{x}$| gives $\diff[n]{f}{x}$.
%
%\DescribeMacro{\diff*}
%
%It's easy to precise the point where the derivative is calculated:
%
% |$\diff*{f}{x}{x_0}$|
%gives $\diff*{f}{x}{x_0}$.
%
%Of course, those two options can be used together:
%|$\diff*[2]{g}{y}{0}$| gives as expected $\diff*[2]{g}{y}{0}$.
%
%\section{Partial derivatives}
%
%\DescribeMacro{\diffp}
%
%Partial derivatives are obtained with the macro
%\textsf{diffp}, using the same syntaxe as with \textsf{diff}:
%a star version to put a subscript, and square brackets to set
%the order of the derivative according to only one variable.
%
%To get $\diffp{f}{x}$, just write
%|$\diffp{f}{x}$|.
%
%We obtain $\diffp[2]{f}{x}$ writing |$\diffp[2]{f}{x}$|.
%
%\DescribeMacro{\diffp*}
%
%The notation $\diffp*{p}{V}{T}$ is the result of
%|$\diffp*{p}{V}{T}$|.
%
%The notation of crossed derivatives is automatic.
%To get $\diffp{f}{{x}{y^2}}$, write
%
%|$\diffp{f}{{x}{y^2}}$|.
%This method can be used to write a partial derivative, without
%square beackets. So |$\diffp{f}{{x^2}}$| gives $\diffp{f}{{x^2}}$.
%
%We can mix options:
% |$\diffp*{f}{{x^2}{y^3}}{z}$|
%gives $\diffp*{f}{{x^2}{y^3}}{z}$.
%
%\section{Options}
%
%Several options are available:
%\begin{itemize}
%\item
%by default, derivatives are written in displaystyle on text mode.
%The \textsf{display} option set this default. With the \textsf{text}
%option, derivatives are written in textstyle on text mode;
%\item
%by default, the \texttt{d} of the derivative is written in roman.
%Available options are \textsf{roman} and \textsf{italic};
%\item
%we can set the space between the \texttt{d} and the symbol of the
%function or of the variable. By default, this space is null.
%Available options are \textsf{thin}, \textsf{med} and
%\textsf{big}. It may be fine to add a space when the \texttt{d}
%is in italic;
%\item
%We can set the space between the $\partial$ and the symbol of the
%function or of the variable. By default, this space is null.
%Available options are \textsf{thinp}, \textsf{medp} and
%\textsf{bigp};
%\item
%the space between $\partial x$ and $\partial y$ in crossed derivatives may be too
%narrow. It is null by default. Available options are
%\textsf{thinc}, \textsf{medc} and \textsf{bigc};
%\end{itemize}
