## NAME
       neqn - format equations for ASCII output

## SYNOPSIS
       **neqn** [_eqn-options_]

## DESCRIPTION
       _neqn_ invokes the [_eqn_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/eqn/1/markdown) command with the **ascii** output device.

       Note  that _eqn_ does not support low-resolution, typewriter-like devices (although it may work
       adequately for very simple input).
