+(chapter :title [Equation Formatting]
+
+ (p [Skribilo comes with an equation formatting package. This package
+may be loaded by adding the following form at the top of your document:]
+
+ (disp (prog (source :language scheme
+ [(use-modules (skribilo package eq))])))
+
+ [It allows the inclusion of (complex) equations in your documents,
+such as, for example, the following:]
+
+ (disp (eq :renderer (if (engine-format? "html") 'lout #f)
+ :ident "eq-disponibilite"
+ `(= (apply A D)
+ (sum :from (= i b) :to (* S b)
+ (* (script :sup (* S b) :sub i C)
+ (* (expt mu i)
+ (expt (- 1 mu)
+ (- (* S b) i))))))))
+
+ [This chapter will describe the syntactic facilities available to
+describe equations, as well as the rendering options.])
+
+ (section :title [Syntax]
+
+ (p [To start with, let's have a look at a concrete example. ]
+
+ (example-produce
+ (example :legend "Example of a simple equation using the verbose syntax"
+ (prgm :file "src/eq1.skb"))
+ (disp (include "src/eq1.skb")))
+
+ [In this example, the ,(tt [eq:]) sub-markups are used pretty
+much like any other kind of markup. However, the resulting syntax
+is very verbose and hard to read.])
+
+ (p [Fortunately, the ,(tt [eq]) package allows for the use of a
+much simple syntax. ]
+
+ (example-produce
+ (example :legend "Example of a simple equation"
+ (prgm :file "src/eq2.skb"))
+ (disp (include "src/eq2.skb")))
+
+ [Readers familiar with the Lisp family of programming languages
+may have already recognized its ,(emph [prefix notation]). Note that,
+unlike in the previous example, the equation itself if ,(emph [quoted]),
+that is, preceded by the ,(tt [']) sign. Additionally, when referring
+to a symbol (such as the Greek letter ,(symbol "phi")), you no longer
+need to use the ,(tt [symbol]) markup (,(ref :text [see subsection]
+:subsection "Symbols")).]))
