Hello,
is there anything ready for troff/eqn that could help me with
1) automatic equation numbering with possible setting a label to an
equation by means of which one could forward/backward reference the
equation?
2) setting a label somewhere in the text, so one can reference it and
obtain e.g. a page on which the label is?
Thanks
Ruda

Hello
I am not aware of anything specificallyto meet your need, but I can get you started.
To automatically number equations:
.nr En 0 1 \" En: equation number, 0: starting number, 1: auto-incrementer
.EQ "" \n+(En
e = m c sup 2
.EN
.am EQ \" This will print the equation number and page number to stderr
.tm eqn: \\$2 \\n%
..
See CSTR 128, `Tools for Printing Indexes' by Jon Bentley and bwk,
particularly section 2., `Typical Use' <http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/cstr128.ps>.
Then you would have a macro, .En equation-number, that would use the label in t.out and match it with its page number using a preprocessor.
Then mix this all up to do exactly what you want to do.

lbl from
http://www.ugu.com/sui/ugu/show?I=software.roff&F\x1111111111&G=Y worked
quite well for me in the past on UNIX. It's not a lot of code, so
hopefully will compile without much trouble in APE.

Just to check out...
Anyone
writing spanish documents using troff on Plan 9?
If so, please, drop me a line off-list.
It's likely we have similar problems :)
thanks
