EQNCHAR(5)

NAME
eqnchar - special character definitions for eqn and neqn

SYNOPSIS
eqn [ options []] [/pbulk/work/textproc/DWB/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/DWB/pub/eqnchar] [- []] [ files []] | troff [ options []]

neqn [ options []] [/pbulk/work/textproc/DWB/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/DWB/pub/eqnchar] [- []] [ files []] | nroff [ options []]

DESCRIPTION
The file contains the following troff(1) and nroff(1) character definitions that are not ordinarily available on a phototypesetter or printer. These definitions are primarily intended for use with eqn(1) and neqn(1). eqnchar contains definitions for the following characters:

ciplus | @ciplus@ | || | @||@ | square | @square@
citimes | @citimes@ | langle | @langle@ | circle | @circle@
wig | @wig@ | rangle | @rangle@ | blot | @blot@
-wig | @-wig@ | hbar | @hbar@ | bullet | @bullet@
>wig | @>wig@ | ppd | @ppd@ | prop | @prop@
<wig | @<wig@ | <-> | @<->@ | empty | @empty@
=wig | @=wig@ | <=> | @<=>@ | member | @member@
star | @star@ | |< | @|<@ | nomem | @nomem@
bigstar | @bigstar@ | |> | @|>@ | cup | @cup@
=dot | @=dot@ | ang | @ang@ | cap | @cap@
orsign | @orsign@ | rang | @rang@ | incl | @incl@
andsign | @andsign@ | 3dot | @3dot@ | subset | @subset@
=del | @=del@ | thf | @thf@ | supset | @supset@
oppA | @oppA@ | quarter | @quarter@ | !subset | @subset@
oppE | @oppE@ | 3quarter | @3quarter@ | !supset | @supset@
angstrom | @angstrom@ | degree | @degree@ | scrL | @scrL@
==< | @==<@ | ==> | @==>@ |

posteqnchar and i300eqnchar are special versions of eqnchar tailored for PostScript and Imagen 8/300 output devices, respectively; output will not look optimal on other devices. cateqnchar is more ``device-independent,'' and should produce output that looks reasonable on any device supported by troff(1). PostScript is the default device, so eqnchar is linked to posteqnchar by default.
