MathML mode limitations

MathML is designed on the assumption that it cannot know the exact physical characteristics of the media and devices on which it will be rendered. It does not support fine control of motions and sizes to the same degree troff does. Thus:

eqn parameters have no effect on the generated MathML.

• The special, up, down, fwd, and back operations cannot be implemented, and yield a MathML '<merror>' message instead.

• The vcenter keyword is silently ignored, as centering on the math axis is the MathML default.

• Characters that eqn sets extra large in troff mode—notably the integral sign—may appear too small and need to have their '<mstyle>' wrappers adjusted by hand.

As in its troff mode, eqn in MathML mode leaves the .EQ and .EN delimiters in place for displayed equations, but emits no explicit delimiters around inline equations. They can, however, be recognized as strings that begin with '<math>' and end with '</math>' and do not cross line boundaries.

See section 'Bugs' below for translation limits specific to eqn.
