I had my pipeline set up "soelim doc.mm | eqn | tbl | eroff", as eqn
complained about "unquoted troff commands". This should have tipped
me off, but I was too rushed to notice.
I've just checked my tbl output and it does use "%" in a register name.
Once I changed the %'s to $'s everything worked fine. Now I wonder why
the eqn manual suggests using %'s as delimiters.
Thanks for your help,
