WWdoc is a language used to hold a text value of a math equation. WWdoc is contained within the open command ("[&") and the close command ("&]"), and anything inside will be considered WWdoc.

Note: Just because an equation is build in WWdoc does not mean it will be recognized in MathMonarch or PowerMath. MathMonarch requires a more specific version of WWdoc 6.0, called True WWdoc, to correctly build an equation.

WWdoc has reserved certain characters for special purposes as follows: ‘|’ to delimit Pi Character tags. ‘*’ to delimit Procedures tags. ‘~’ to delimit Style tags. ‘!’ to delimit Macro tags, and ‘$’to serve as merge codes for macros. ‘{}’ to contain "arguments" to procedures and macros ‘[]’ to contain optional fields for procedures in some special cases, and ‘%’as field separators therein.

Pi Characters are accessed using the pipe keyboard stroke "|". These pipes are matched. To key a normal pipe, WWdoc has created the tag "|pipe|".

Macro tags are accessed using the exclamation point keystroke "!". These delimiters are matched.

To access procedures, also called functions, WWdoc uses the asterisk keystroke "*". These delimiters are matched. To key a normal asterisk, use "|\*|"

WWdoc has reserved the tilde key stroke "~" for Style changes. To key a normal tilde, use the tag "|tilde|". WWdoc has created the |Atil| tag name which is mostly used in the accent procedure.

The argument delimiter "{}"is used by WWdoc to hold the arguments presented to a procedure. These delimiters are matched.To key normal curly braces, WWdoc has created two tags "|cbo|" (curly brace open) and "|cbc|" (curly brace close).

WWdoc has also reserved the straight brace "[]". Straight braces are used as delimiters to hold preference information in certain cases. To key normal striaght braces, use "|sbo|" (straight brace open ‘[‘) and "|sbc|" (straight brace close ‘]’).

Within the straight brace delimiters , a percentage sign is used as a field separator when setting up preferences. It is also used when keying a matrix as a cell separator on a given row. To key a normal percentage sign , WWdoc uses the tag "|\%|".
