It has been said by someone more knowledgable than I that:
A critical property of the 'matrix' construct is that elements in
a row are aligned, which is not necessarily true in a sequence of
piles. The point is that vertical spacing in columns is adjusted
in concert, .....
I am not convinced that EQN does this very well currently.
See the attached. When I have two entries in the same row, one
0
and the other a term like
{ partial x } over { partial r }
which have a big height difference, they are poorly spaced vertically.
See my example matrix A (both troff & PDF) for the problem matrix.
The matrix B is better aligned but I had to seriously mess with fake
(unpadded space) subscripts and superscripts to achieve this.
The example C tries to imitate the spacing this is expected in A. It is the same with either -ms or -mm. Is this urgent? Probably not. Thanks - Damian
