I believe its been done several times before, for example here http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.formats.asciidoc/3761 and other earlier examples, but nobody has actually submitted it. Asciidoc is now in github https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc so you can submit a pull request. Don't forget to do the documentation though :) Cheers Lex > > I believe that improving support for mathematical typesetting could increase > asciidocs popularity in the corresponding communities. > > thank you > > joerg > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "asciidoc" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
