Mathematical use of "=" causes warning #89

Some random paragraph with <b>legitimate</b> bold use, followed
somewhere by...

The controlling force is

.in +2
.nf c
<i>ad</i> = H
.nf-
.in
and when the needle is in equilibrium, the component <i>ae</i> = H sin <i>x</i> is
equal and opposite to <i>ac</i>, hence...

Causes **warning: both <b> and "=" found in text. markup conflict.

In this book this is only an annoyance BUT -- does it mean that if the equation(s) with equal-signs happened to precede the first use of <b> in the text, they would be taken as bold-markers? That would be a problem -- equal-signs disappearing and parts of equations bolded.

#89.

The warning is because, in the text output and are replaced by
= signs. You will, of course, have a TN stating that = represents bold
text.

However, if you also have real = signs in your text, you need to make
sure that your TN is worded appropriately, to avoid confusing the
reader. Thus the warning message.
