Re: [ROOT] Simple TLatex line \Delta{E}

HI Yannick,
In the current implementation of TLatex, the greek symbols are directly
replaced by their graphical representation. You can perfectly give #DeltaE
and not #Delta{E}. Greek letters are not considered to be operators with
an argument. Since this would be an important change in the class, I would
appreciate getting more feedback on this subject. May be somebody should
cross-check the latex compatibility for all functions of TLatex.
