For example, you can say .EQ 1 over sqrt {ax sup2 +bx+c} .EN to produce .EQ 1 over sqrt {ax sup 2 +bx+c} .EN Does the input .EQ e sup sqrt {pi x} .EN produce the same output as .EQ e sup {sqrt {pi x}} .EN Answer yes or no. .pl 1 # #once neqn message | nroff -T$term %s/tinyms - #copyin #user #uncopyin #match yes #log #next 9.1a 10 8.2b 5
