CW (l)
CW (l)
Documents that contain CW text may also contain tables and/or
equations. If this is the case, the order of preprocessing should be:
cw, tbl, and eqn . Usually, the tables contained in such documents
will not contain any CW text, although it is entirely possible
to have elements of the table set in the CW font; of course,
care must be taken that tbl(l) format information not be modified
by cw. Attempts to set equations in the CW font are not likely to
be either pleasing or successful.
In the CW font, overstriking is most easily accomplished with
backspaces: letting +- represent a backspace, d+-+-t yields q.
(Because backspaces are half as wide between delimiters as inside
.CW j.CN pairs-see above-two backspaces are required for each
overstrike between delimiters.)

eqn(l), mmt( l), tbl(l), mm(5).
WARNINGS
If text preprocessed by cw is to make any sense, it must be set on
a typesetter equipped with the CW font or on a STARE facility; on
the latter, the CW font appears as bold, but with the proper CW
spacing.
BUGS
Only a masochist would use periods (.), backslashes (\), or double �
quotes (") as delimiters, or as arguments to .CP and .PC. 1
Certain CW characters don't concatenate gracefully with certain
Times Roman characters, e.g., a CW ampersand (&) followed by a
Times Roman comma (,); in such cases, judicious use of troff halfand
quarter-spaces (\1 and \A) is most salutary, e.g., one should
use _&_\ A , (rather than just plain _&_ ,) to obtain & , (assuming
that _ is used for both delimiters).
Using cw with nroff is silly.
The output of cw is hard to read.
