Why not use the preprocessor eqn(1) which means using definining the delimiter at the start of the document with .ENITYM .EQ above. :)

Go for it. My only reason for using eqn(1) is tht 99% of my needs are because of mathematics. You examples of footnotes to text and chemistry formulae are clear examples where they are not needed. That said, I never use superscripts for footnotes and use the 'roman' keyword in eqn(1) for
chemical formulae. Stay safe - Damian Pacific Engineering Systems International, 277-279 Broadway, Glebe NSW 2037 Ph:+61-2-8571-0847 .. Fx:+61-2-9692-9623 | unsolicited email not wanted here Views & opinions here are mine and not those of any past or present employer
