OK ... I know ..
It's my fault, if I'm unable to read correctly ... ;)
I know myself, that I'm to dumb, BUT:

I had a macro that I used to create a mesh of triangles ....
When I tried to convert it for smooth_triangles, I needed to look
into the doc (shame on me ...;)
I browsed through and looked for the changes between mesh and smooth-mesh

OK ...
in 6.5.2.3 Mesh
there is written the following ...

MESH_TRIANGLE:
    triangle
    {
        <Corner_1>, <Corner_2>, <Corner_3>
        [uv_vectors <uv_Corner_1>, <uv_Corner_2>, <uv_Corner_3>]
        [MESH_TEXTURE]
    } |
    smooth_triangle
    {
        <Corner_1>, <Normal_1>, <Corner_2>,
        <Normal_2>, <Corner_3>, <Normal_3>
        [uv_vectors <uv_Corner_1>, <uv_Corner_2>, <uv_Corner_3>]
        [MESH_TEXTURE]
    }

Can you imagine, that I wrote now
    <Corner1>,<Corner2>,<Corner3>,
    <Normal1>,<Normal2>,<Normal3> ???

Even worse ... I needed, at least 2 hours to figure out, that it was written
in
the doc in a distracting way ...

is it possible, to change the doc a minor bit, that there is:

    smooth_triangle
    {
        <Corner_1>, <Normal_1>,
        <Corner_2>, <Normal_2>,
        <Corner_3>, <Normal_3>
        [uv_vectors <uv_Corner_1>, <uv_Corner_2>, <uv_Corner_3>]
        [MESH_TEXTURE]
    }

so one still can figure out, what happens, if you only fly through the thing
?

(Yeah ... you can call me a Warmduscher, that I need the doc for mesh-syntax
;)
