<P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER=BASIC CELLPADDING=3 COLS=1><TR><TD> <code>\xymatrix</code><code>{</code>&nbsp;...&nbsp;<code>}</code>
</TABLE></CENTER><P>
<P>
	where the "..." should be replaced by <em>entries</em> to
	be <em>aligned in rows and columns</em> where
<UL>
<LI>	entries in a row are separated by <code>&amp;</code> and
<LI>	entire rows are separated by <code> \\</code>.
</UL>
	For example,
<P><CENTER><BR><IMG WIDTH=259 HEIGHT=103 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="displaymath73" SRC="img2.gif"><BR></CENTER><P>
	was typeset by
<BLOCKQUOTE><PRE>\xymatrix{
  A &amp;*+[F]{\sum_{i=n}^m {i^2}} \\
    &amp; {\bullet} &amp; D \ar[ul]     }</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>
	Notice the following:
<UL>
<LI>entries are typeset as mathematics (using "text style"); entries
	should not start with a macro (as illustrated by the use of
	<code>{}</code> around <code>\bullet</code>.
<LI>all entries are centered,
<LI>the separation between rows and columns is usually quite large in a
	diagram,
<LI>empty entries at the end of rows may be omitted,
<LI>"Xy-decorations" (here <code>\ar[ul]</code>) in entries allow drawing of
	arrows and such relative to the entries without changing the overall
	layout, and
<LI>"Xy-modifiers" (here <code>*+[F]</code>) first in entries allow changing the
	format and shape in many ways.
