+<dt>(tan <i>expr</i>)</dt>
+<dd><i>expr</i> - floating point number or expression<br>

+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'tan' function calculates the tangent of the 'expr' and returns the
+result. The 'expr' is in radians.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(tan 0.0) <font color="#008844">; returns 0</font>
+(tan 1.0) <font color="#008844">; returns 1.55741</font>
+(tan (/ 3.14159 2)) <font color="#008844">; returns 753696</font>
+(tan 2.0) <font color="#008844">; returns -2.18504</font>
+(tan 3.0) <font color="#008844">; returns -0.142547</font>
+(tan 3.14159) <font color="#008844">; returns -2.65359e-06</font>
+(tan 4.5) <font color="#008844">; returns 4.63733</font>
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>Common Lisp:</b> Common Lisp allows for integer numbers, which
+XLISP does not support for 'tan'.</p>
