Consider the following eqn definitions: define alpha % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*a\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.2n'" % define beta % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*b\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.2n'" % define gamma % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*g\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.4n'" % define delta % "\S'+15'\s-1\H'+1'\(*d\H'0'\s+1\S'0'\h'0.3n'" % Within eqn delimiters, alpha will be printed at an oblique angle of 15 degrees. The other operations alter the aspect ratio (for aesthetic reasons) and add a slight space at the right of the character.
