Description
Eqn is an equation preprocessor for the troff typesetting system.
Its syntax was used as a base for the libreoffice equation object.
Its syntax is clean, simple, an I would be please to be able to use it to input math formulas with mathjax
The syntax is described at least here : https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2013-10/pdfTyBN2VWR1c.pdf
I don't know if libreoffice uses a dialect of it
This would nicely complete the availability of asciimath
Here an example of the libreoffice equation editor
