<span class="quote">> Your starmath syntax is just wrong. The command = needs valid expressions at

> a+b_ij = {} newline {} = c+d</span >

Agree. That is how we handle the NEWLINE command. As pointed out in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=41739#c4">comment 4</a>
and <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=41739#c5">comment 5</a> above. And, attempt to modify parser behavior were not viable.

And this becomes a documentation issue against describing behavior of NEWLINE
on formula layout [1][2]. What should be said about SM use of NEWLINE command
and its effect on parsing starmath/mathml syntax for rendering of formula(s) to
canvas?
