This is a very good idea! Unfortunately, it needs an extension of eqn which doesn't exist yet: delim on to reactivate the previous delimiter characters (in compatibility mode `on' would rather set the start and end delimiter characters to `o' and `n', respectively). > Or document what shouldn't be used because tbl needs them? Yes, this is another possibility: The documentation already says that `#' must not be used as a delimiter due to the existence of the `.T#' macro. But I feel uncomfortable to actually disable three characters (`'#) just because of an internal macro and warning messages. I think it's better to lift the limitation instead. Werner
