+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+This manual page describes the GNU version of
+.BR eqn ,
+which is part of the groff document formatting system.
+.
+.B eqn
+compiles descriptions of equations embedded within
+.B troff
+input files into commands that are understood by
+.BR troff .
+.
+Normally, it should be invoked using the
+.B \-e
+option of
+.BR groff .
+.
+The syntax is quite compatible with Unix eqn.
+.
+The output of GNU
+.B eqn
+cannot be processed with Unix troff;
+it must be processed with GNU troff.
+.
+If no files are given on the command line, the standard input is read.
+.
+A filename of
+.B \-
+causes the standard input to be read.
+.
+.
+.LP
+.B eqn
+searches for the file
+.I eqnrc
+in the directories given with the
+.B \-M
+option first, then in
+.IR /usr/\:lib/\:groff/\:site\-tmac ,
+.IR /usr/\:share/\:groff/\:site\-tmac ,
+and finally in the standard macro directory
+.IR /usr/\:share/\:groff/\:1.22.4/\:tmac .
+.
+If it exists,
+.B eqn
+processes it before the other input files.
+.
+The
+.B \-R
+option prevents this.
+.
+.
+.LP
+GNU
+.B eqn
+does not provide the functionality of neqn:
+it does not support low-resolution, typewriter-like devices
+(although it may work adequately for very simple input).
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Whitespace is permitted between a command-line option and its argument.
+.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-d xy
+Specify delimiters
+.I x
+and\~\c
+.I y
+for the left and right end, respectively, of in-line equations.
+.
+Any
+.B delim
+statements in the source file overrides this.
+.
+.TP
+.B \-C
+Recognize
+.B .EQ
+and
+.B .EN
+even when followed by a character other than space or newline.
+.
+Also, the statement
+.RB \[oq] "delim on" \[cq]
+is not handled specially.
+.
+.TP
+.B \-N
+Don't allow newlines within delimiters.
+.
+This option allows
+.B eqn
+to recover better from missing closing delimiters.
+.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Print the version number.
+.
+.TP
+.B \-r
+Only one size reduction.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-m n
+The minimum point-size is\~\c
+.IR n .
+.
+.B eqn
+does not reduce the size of subscripts or superscripts to
+a smaller size than\~\c
+.IR n .
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-T name
+The output is for device
+.IR name .
+.
+Normally, the only effect of this is to define a macro
+.I name
+with a value of\~\c
+.BR 1 ;
+.I eqnrc
+uses this to provide definitions appropriate for the output device.
+.
+However, if the specified device is \[lq]MathML\[rq], the output is
+MathML markup rather than troff commands, and
+.I eqnrc
+is not loaded at all.
+.
+The default output device is
+.BR ps .
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-M dir
+Search
+.I dir
+for
+.I eqnrc
+before the default directories.
+.
+.TP
+.B \-R
+Don't load
+.IR eqnrc .
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-f F
+This is equivalent to a
+.BI gfont\ F
+command.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-s n
+This is equivalent to a
+.BI gsize\ n
+command.
+.
+This option is deprecated.
+.B eqn
+normally sets equations at whatever the current point size
+is when the equation is encountered.
+.
+.TP
+.BI \-p n
+This says that subscripts and superscripts should be
+.IR n \~points
+smaller than the surrounding text.
+.
+This option is deprecated.
+.
+Normally
+.B eqn
+sets subscripts and superscripts at 70% of the size of the surrounding
+text.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SH USAGE
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Only the differences between GNU
+.B eqn
+and Unix eqn are described here.
+.
+.
+.LP
+GNU
+.B eqn
+emits Presentation MathML output when invoked with the
+.B "-T\~MathML"
+option.
+.
+.
+.LP
+GNU eqn sets the input token
+.B \&"..."
+as three periods or low dots, rather than the three centered dots of
+classic eqn. To get three centered dots, write
+.B "cdots"
+or
+.BR "cdot cdot cdot".
+.
+.
+.LP
+Most of the new features of the GNU
+.B eqn
+input language are based on \*(tx.
+.
+There are some references to the differences between \*(tx and GNU
+.B eqn
+below;
+these may safely be ignored if you do not know \*(tx.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS Controlling delimiters
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+If not in compatibility mode,
+.B eqn
+recognizes
+.
+.RS
+.LP
+.B delim on
+.RE
+.
+.LP
+to restore the delimiters which have been previously disabled
+with a call to
+.RB \[oq] "delim off" \[cq].
+.
+If delimiters haven't been specified, the call has no effect.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS Automatic spacing
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.B eqn
+gives each component of an equation a type, and adjusts the spacing
+between components using that type.
+.
+Possible types are described in the table below.
+.
+.
+.TS
+lB l.
+ordinary T{
+an ordinary character such as \[oq]1\[cq] or
+.RI \[oq] x \[cq]
+T}
+operator T{
+a large operator such as
+.ds Su \[oq]\s+5\(*S\s0\[cq]
+.if \n(.g .if !c\(*S .ds Su the summation operator
+\*(Su
+T}
+binary a binary operator such as \[oq]\[pl]\[cq]
+relation a relation such as \[oq]=\[cq]
+opening a opening bracket such as \[oq](\[cq]
+closing a closing bracket such as \[oq])\[cq]
+punctuation a punctuation character such as \[oq],\[cq]
+inner a subformula contained within brackets
+suppress a type that suppresses automatic spacing adjustment
+.TE
+.
+.
+.LP
+Components of an equation
+get a type in one of two ways.
+.
+.TP
+.BI type\ t\ e
+This yields an equation component that contains\~\c
+.I e
+but that has type\~\c
+.IR t ,
+where
+.I t
+is one of the types mentioned above.
+.
+For example,
+.B times
+is defined as
+.
+.RS
+.IP
+.B
+type "binary" \e(mu
+.RE
+.
+.IP
+The name of the type doesn't have to be quoted, but quoting protects
+from macro expansion.
+.
+.TP
+.BI chartype\ t\ text
+Unquoted groups of characters are split up into individual characters,
+and the type of each character is looked up;
+this changes the type that is stored for each character;
+it says that the characters in
+.I text
+from now on have type\~\c
+.IR t .
+For example,
+.
+.RS
+.IP
+.B
+chartype "punctuation" .,;:
+.RE
+.
+.IP
+would make the characters \[oq].,;:\[cq] have type punctuation
+whenever they subsequently appeared in an equation.
+.
+The type\~\c
+.I t
+can also be
+.B letter
+or
+.BR digit ;
+in these cases
+.B chartype
+changes the font type of the characters.
+.
+See subsection \[lq]Fonts\[rq] below.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS New primitives
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.TP
+.BI big\ e
+Enlarges the expression it modifies; intended to have semantics like
+CSS \[oq]large\[cq].
+.
+In troff output, the point size is increased by\~5; in MathML output,
+the expression uses
+.
+.RS
+.IP
+.EX
+<mstyle \%mathsize='big'>
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+.TP
+.IB e1\ smallover\ e2
+This is similar to
+.BR over ;
+.B smallover
+reduces the size of
+.I e1
+and
+.IR e2 ;
+it also puts less vertical space between
+.I e1
+or
+.I e2
+and the fraction bar.
+.
+The
+.B over
+primitive corresponds to the \*(tx
+.B \eover
+primitive in display styles;
+.B smallover
+corresponds to
+.B \eover
+in non-display styles.
+.
+.TP
+.BI vcenter\ e
+This vertically centers
+.I e
+about the math axis.
+.
+The math axis is the vertical position about which characters such as
+\[oq]\[pl]\[cq] and \[oq]\[mi]\[cq] are centered; also it is the
+vertical position used for the bar of fractions.
+.
+For example,
+.B sum
+is defined as
+.
+.RS
+.IP
+.B
+{ type "operator" vcenter size +5 \e(*S }
+.RE
+.
+.IP
+(Note that vcenter is silently ignored when generating MathML.)
+.
+.TP
+.IB e1\ accent\ e2
+This sets
+.I e2
+as an accent over
+.IR e1 .
+.I e2
+is assumed to be at the correct height for a lowercase letter;
+.I e2
+is moved down according to whether
+.I e1
+is taller or shorter than a lowercase letter.
+.
+For example,
+.B hat
+is defined as
+.
+.RS
+.IP
+.B
+accent { "^" }
+.RE
+.
+.IP
+.BR dotdot ,
+.BR dot ,
+.BR tilde ,
+.BR vec ,
+and
+.B dyad
+are also defined using the
+.B accent
+primitive.
+.
+.TP
+.IB e1\ uaccent\ e2
+This sets
+.I e2
+as an accent under
+.IR e1 .
+.I e2
+is assumed to be at the correct height for a character without a descender;
+.I e2
+is moved down if
+.I e1
+has a descender.
+.
+.B utilde
+is pre-defined using
+.B uaccent
+as a tilde accent below the baseline.
+.
+.TP
+.BI split\ \[dq] text \[dq]
+This has the same effect as simply
+.
+.RS
+.IP
+.I text
+.RE
+.
+.IP
+but
+.I text
+is not subject to macro expansion because it is quoted;
+.I text
+is split up and the spacing between individual characters is adjusted.
+.
+.TP
+.BI nosplit\ text
+This has the same effect as
+.
+.RS
+.IP
+.BI \[dq] text \[dq]
+.RE
+.
+.IP
+but because
+.I text
+is not quoted it is subject to macro expansion;
+.I text
+is not split up
+and the spacing between individual characters is not adjusted.
+.
+.TP
+.IB e\ opprime
+This is a variant of
+.B prime
+that acts as an operator on\~\c
+.IR e .
+.
+It produces a different result from
+.B prime
+in a case such as
+.BR A\ opprime\ sub\ 1 :
+with
+.B opprime
+the\~\c
+.B 1
+is tucked under the prime as a subscript to the\~\c
+.B A
+(as is conventional in mathematical typesetting),
+whereas with
+.B prime
+the\~\c
+.B 1
+is a subscript to the prime character.
+.
+The precedence of
+.B opprime
+is the same as that of
+.B bar
+and
+.BR under ,
+which is higher than that of everything except
+.B accent
+and
+.BR uaccent .
+.
+In unquoted text a\~\c
+.B \[aq]
+that is not the first character is treated like
+.BR opprime .
+.
+.TP
+.BI special\ text\ e
+This constructs a new object from\~\c
+.I e
+using a
+.BR troff (1)
+macro named
+.IR text .
+.
+When the macro is called,
+the string
+.B 0s
+contains the output for\~\c
+.IR e ,
+and the number registers
+.BR 0w ,
+.BR 0h ,
+.BR 0d ,
+.BR 0skern ,
+and
+.B 0skew
+contain the width, height, depth, subscript kern, and skew of\~\c
+.IR e .
+.
+(The
+.I "subscript kern"
+of an object says how much a subscript on that object should be tucked in;
+the
+.I skew
+of an object says how far to the right of the center of the object an
+accent over the object should be placed.)
+.
+The macro must modify
+.B 0s
+so that it outputs the desired result with its origin at the current
+point, and increase the current horizontal position by the width
+of the object.
+.
+The number registers must also be modified so that they correspond to the
+result.
+.
+.IP
+For example, suppose you wanted a construct that \[oq]cancels\[cq] an
+expression by drawing a diagonal line through it.

+.SS Fonts
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.B eqn
+normally uses at least two fonts to set an equation:
+an italic font for letters,
+and a roman font for everything else.
+.
+The existing
+.B gfont
+command
+changes the font that is used as the italic font.
+.
+By default this is\~\c
+.BR I .
+The font that is used as the roman font can be changed using the new
+.B grfont
+command.
+.
+.TP
+.BI grfont\ f
+Set the roman font to\~\c
+.IR f .
+.
+.
+.LP
+The
+.B italic
+primitive uses the current italic font set by
+.BR gfont ;
+the
+.B roman
+primitive uses the current roman font set by
+.BR grfont .
+.
+There is also a new
+.B gbfont
+command, which changes the font used by the
+.B bold
+primitive.
+.
+If you only use the
+.BR roman ,
+.B italic
+and
+.B bold
+primitives to changes fonts within an equation, you can change all the
+fonts used by your equations just by using
+.BR gfont ,
+.B grfont
+and
+.B gbfont
+commands.
+.
+.
+.LP
+You can control which characters are treated as letters
+(and therefore set in italics) by using the
+.B chartype
+command described above.
+.
+A type of
+.B letter
+causes a character to be set in italic type.
+.
+A type of
+.B digit
+causes a character to be set in roman type.

+.SH MATHML MODE LIMITATIONS
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+MathML is designed on the assumption that it cannot know the exact
+physical characteristics of the media and devices on which it will
+be rendered.
+.
+It does not support fine control of motions and sizes to the same
+degree troff does.
+.
+Thus:
+.
+.IP *
+.B eqn
+parameters have no effect on the generated MathML.
+.
+.IP *
+The
+.BR special ,
+.BR up ,
+.BR down ,
+.BR fwd ,
+and
+.B back
+operations cannot be implemented, and yield a MathML
+\[oq]<merror>\[cq] message instead.
+.
+.IP *
+The
+.B vcenter
+keyword is silently ignored, as centering on the math axis is the
+MathML default.
+.
+.IP *
+Characters that
+.B eqn
+over troff sets extra large \(en notably the integral sign \(en may
+appear too small and need to have their \[oq]<mstyle>\[cq] wrappers
+adjusted by hand.
+.
+.
+.LP
+As in its troff mode,
+.B eqn
+in MathML mode leaves the
+.B .EQ
+and
+.B .EN
+delimiters in place for displayed equations, but emits no explicit
+delimiters around inline equations.
+.
+They can, however, be recognized as strings that begin with
+\[oq]<math>\[cq] and end with \[oq]</math>\[cq] and do not cross line
+boundaries.
+.
+.
+.LP
+See section \[lq]Bugs\[rq] below for translation limits specific to
+.BR eqn .
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SH BUGS
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Inline equations are set at the point size that is current at the
+beginning of the input line.
+.
+.
+.LP
+In MathML mode, the
+.B mark
+and
+.B lineup
+features don't work.
+.
+These could, in theory, be implemented with \[oq]<maligngroup>\[cq]
+elements.
+.
+.
+.LP
+In MathML mode, each digit of a numeric literal gets a separate
+\[oq]<mn>\:</mn>\[cq] pair, and decimal points are tagged with
+\[oq]<mo>\:</mo>\[cq].
+.
+This is allowed by the specification, but inefficient.
