Re: GNU eqn clarifications and reforms (was: EQN - special words)

What characters do you use for in-line EQN delimiters, $ or # or something 
else.

I have used $ symbols for decades and just turn then off when I need to 
use a real dollar sign within normal text, subsequently turning them back 
on again when I need to.

But in trying to explain to others how to handle turning the delimiters on 
and off, I find my explanation is less than clear and I think moving to

        .EQ
        delim ##
        .EN

is an alternative which is easier to justify (and explain).

Any comment?

I have dollar signs in the text of my updated user-guide because I am 
trying to explain the use those $ delimiters and of macro arguments, i.e. 
$1, $2, ....

Thanks - Damian
