Bas,
You are having a normal AsciiDoc macro escaping problem. The closing square
bracket in the formula is prematurely closing the latexmath macro.
Here's what you have:
latexmath:[$\sqrt[3]{4}$]
Here's what you need to have:
latexmath:[$\sqrt[3\]{4}$]
Notice the backslash following the 3.
To avoid having to escape the backslash, you have to use another
passthrough mechanism (since latexmath is really just a pass macro).
You can use the triple plus (as you observed):
+++$\sqrt[3]{4}$+++
You can use the double dollar (though it looks odd):
$$$\sqrt[3]{4}$$$
However, what I recommend the most is to use something other than the
single dollar for the math equation boundaries. For instance, you can
configure mathjax to recognize backticks, so you can type:
$$`\sqrt[3]{4}`$$
Perhaps better is to choose a delimiter AsciiDoc doesn't already process,
such as the escaped round brackets:
\(\sqrt[3]{4}\)
Personally, I think the last solution is the best. You would configure it
as:
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
tex2jax: {
inlineMath: [ ['\\(','\\)'] ]
}
});
</script>
I hope that helps!
