A warning keeps popping up in my LaTeX editor, and it's really annoying. It says that the command \Bbb
is obsolete and I should use \mathbb
instead. I personally like the command \Bbb
by the obvious reason that its shorter than the newer one. If the command \Bbb
is obsolete then why don't they take it out? If I try to make a new command to redefine \Bbb
as \mathbb
, the compiler won't let me. Is there a way to get rid of this warning?

Since some years the command
\Bbb
provided byamsfonts
has been renamed to\mathbb
to conform to the other font selection commands (\mathcal
,\mathbf
and so on).The command
\Bbb
has so been redefined to give a warning at the first usage, but then it works exactly as\mathbb
.Of course you're free to redefine it as you please:
In this way you'll not get any warning.
Why hasn't it been removed? Because many legacy documents use it.
