How does groff do formulas?

  Using separate programs like eqn. (http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/v7man/eqn/eqn2e.ps http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/v7man/eqn/eqn2e.ps)

    Sorry, but eqn is just not in the same league as LaTeX. It's okay for simple equations, but as can be seen from the document you linked, it produces awful output as soon as the equations become a little bit complex.

      Take a look at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lout/lout-3.40-user.ps.gz http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lout/lout-3.40-use... (page 148 and followings).
