- GNU eqn converts some operators to special characters, for example, |
|
input HYPHEN-MINUS becomes output \(mi, unless it is part of a |
|
quoted word. mandoc(1) only does this when the operator is |
|
surrounded by blanks, not when it is part of an unquoted word. |
|
Also, check whether there are more such cases (e.g., +?). |
