On my Debian/Linux system, the eqn manpage says:

       GNU eqn does not provide the functionality of neqn: it does not
       support low-resolution, typewriter-like devices (although it may
       work ade‐ quately for very simple input).

IMO, "the right way" would be a "latex-math -> troff" or a "latex-math ->
text" converter that bypasses the eqn preprocessor.

I understand your logic, but dont agree.

* latex-math -> troff: is only harder to do than latex-math -> eqn.
  eqn: will translate to roff for free.

  The output will be consistent on the system, but will be printable.

This is the main point and this we agree on. So the discussion below
should not stand in the way.

What would be the command sequence I had to use to translate
man-page-writer output with eqn-equations to a man page I can view with
`man`?

For output formats without math support, I consider a conversion to either

 * Plain text with Unicode (𝑥 = 2π∫ sin(𝜔𝑡)d𝑡

 * a Docutils doctree node with font-attributes similar to what you would
   get from rst *x* = 2π ∫ sin(*ωt*)d *t*
 
with `graceful degradation` for features that cannot be supported this way.

Summary: rst2odt doesn\'t do nested definiton lists

Initial Comment:
I'm attaching an RST file with a simple example of nested definition lists.

I can see the nested lists when I run rst2html test.rst > test.html

But when I run rst2odt test.rst > test.odt
I get everything in one definition list.
