Handling of <B>tr</B> macro in <A HREF="roff.7.html">roff</A> implemented. This makes Perl documentation much more |

Significant <A HREF="eqn.7.html">eqn</A> improvements. <SPAN CLASS="nm">mdocml</SPAN> can now parse arbitrary eqn input |

(although few GNU extensions are accepted, nor is mixing low-level roff with eqn). See the <A HREF="eqn.7.html">eqn</A> |
|
manual for details. For the time being, equations are rendered as simple in-line text. The equation parser satisfies |
