I had this code: 99 \placeformula\startformula 100 \eqalignno{ 101 >> H(I,J) &= H(I) + H(J|I)\qquad&\hbox{\ineq[eq:equivoc]}\cr 102 W(I,J) &= H(J) - H(J|I)\qquad&\hbox{\ineq[eq:wedinfo]}\cr 103 } 104 \stopformula

This is the original produced by the \eqalignno. See the active links to previous equations in green, produced by my \ineq-macro. The equation numbers here are from the 7th chapter, in the latter (shortened) examples the chapter number will be 1. [cid:6BEAFFEE-7FE7-4CE4-AD45-DB0341A2EA25] The suggested code gives: [cid:CEBB66EC-83A5-4A10-A7E3-729FBBB24BD9] Wrong because the numbers should refer to equations 1.21 and 1.28 instead of numbering forward. Putting my \ineq-macro there \NC W(I,J) \NC H(J) - H(J|I)\NR\hbox{\ineq[eq:wedinfo]} gives an equally unacceptable result: [cid:ACE1072E-59D0-4310-8FC5-4E9E1FF3485C] On 26 Apr 2017, at 16:38, Otared Kavian <ota...@gmail.com<mailto:ota...@gmail.com>> also wrote: Hi Hans, Since a few weeks (or months?…) ago the use of \eqno and \eqalignno has been changed in mkiv. A remark afterwards I really regret making. But I cannot understand why \eqalignno and friends have been changed from their original behaviour. It breaks older products of mine without warning. In fact I wouldn't have spotted this, had not a colleague drawn my attention to it. Is this the only math macro behaving differently, giving a TeX error? Are there others? I cannot but ask most strongly not to let mkiv deviate in this manner from basic TeX's behaviour. I am doing a lot in ConTeXt but I mix it with parts of basic TeX. When I can no longer trust TeX doing like TeX I really don't know how to go further. Please return the original behaviour. Thanks for looking into it. Hans van der Meer
