</head><body>
<h3>Cancelling terms in maths expressions</h3>
<p/>A technique used when explaining the behaviour of expressions or
equations (often for pedagogical purposes).  The <i>cancel</i>
package provides several variants of cancellation marks
(&#8220;<code>\</code>&#8221;, &#8220;<code>/</code>&#8221; and &#8220;<code>X</code>&#8221;), and
a means of cancelling &#8216;to&#8217; a particular value.
<p/>Documentation of <i>cancel</i> is in the package file.
