calc.texi (TeX and LaTeX Language Modes, Predefined Units): calc-units.el (math-build-units-table-buffer): README: Mention that the TeX specific units won't use the `tex' prefix in TeX mode. calc-lang.el (math-variable-table): Don't use the `tex' prefix for units in TeX mode.

@texline @math{\sin{2 x}}
@infoline @expr{sin 2x} 
but 
@texline @math{\sin(2 + x)}.
@infoline @expr{sin(2 + x)}.

Function and variable names not treated specially by @TeX{} and La@TeX{}
are simply written out as-is, which will cause them to come out in
italic letters in the printed document.  If you invoke @kbd{d T} or
@kbd{d L} with a positive numeric prefix argument, names of more than

@code{texbp} (a ``big point'', equal to a standard point which is larger
than the point used by @TeX{}), @code{texdd} (a Didot point),
@code{texcc} (a Cicero) and @code{texsp} (a scaled @TeX{} point, 
all dimensions representable in @TeX{} are multiples of this value).

The unit @code{e} stands for the elementary (electron) unit of charge;
because algebra command could mistake this for the special constant
@expr{e}, Calc provides the alternate unit name @code{ech} which is
preferable to @code{e}.

The @TeX{} specific unit names (@pxref{Predefined Units}) will not use
the @samp{tex} prefix;  the unit name for a @TeX{} point will be
@samp{pt} instead of @samp{texpt}, for example.

When Calc is using the @TeX{} or La@TeX{} language mode (@pxref{TeX
and LaTeX Language Modes}), the @TeX{} specific unit names will not
use the @samp{tex} prefix; the unit name for a @TeX{} point will be
@samp{pt} instead of @samp{texpt}, for example.  To avoid conflicts,
the unit names for pint and parsec will simply be @samp{pint} and
@samp{parsec} instead of @samp{pt} and @samp{pc}.
