Yes, eqn inserts various computations so that line continuations in macros don't work. As a rule of thumb, don't use eqn stuff in macro arguments but put them into a string defined in advance. > .DS CB > .PIC -C rep-peeq-srf.ps 5.0 > .FG "Equivalent plastic strain ahead\ > of the notch (if any) for all models at\ > $-196 sup{0}$C at the surface at\ > $epsilon sub{p} = 0.2%$ or shortly after."\ > "" 0 fig:peeq-srf > .SETR fig:peeq-srf > .DE The following works: .DS CB .PIC -C rep-peeq-srf.ps 5.0 .ds caption "Equivalent plastic strain ahead\" .as caption " of the notch (if any) for all models at\" .as caption " $-196$\[de]C at the surface at\" .as caption " $epsilon sub{p} = 0.2%$ or shortly after.\" .FG "\*[caption]" "" 0 fig:peeq-srf .SETR fig:peeq-srf .DE I use trailing \" to avoid empty spaces at the end of lines (which .ds and .as happily store otherwise). Thank you, this is a good solution. How about maths in the abstract? I don't know where to place .EQ delim $$ .EN I tried putting it before COVER/COVEND, or inside, but before AS/AE, but I get % make pic rep.1 | tbl | eqn | mmroff pic rep.1 | tbl | eqn | groff -mm > rep.ps /usr/share/tmac/mm/4.MT:66: warning: bad font number /usr/share/tmac/mm/4.MT:66: warning: bad font number % and the maths are not displayed.
