Hi,

Just in case you're wondering what's going on, mandoc now has initial 
support for equation ("EQN") blocks, replacing the old

  % eqn foo.1 | nroff -mandoc

chain of calls.

For the time being, all mandoc does is pass these blocks through, 
unchanged, to the output.  Of course, now that the framework is in 
place, we can work on the output part.

Thanks,

Kristaps

P.S.,

% mandoc -Owidth=68 eqn.7

NAME
      eqn -- eqn language reference for mandoc

DESCRIPTION
      The eqn language is a equation-formatting language.  It is used
      within mdoc(7) and man(7) UNIX manual pages.  This manual
      describes the subset of the eqn language accepted by the
      mandoc(1) utility.

      Equations within mdoc(7) or man(7) are enclosed by the `EQ' and
      `EN' macro tags, whose precise syntax is documented in roff(7).
      Equations consist of multi-line equation data.

SEE ALSO
