The diff in the link I gave actually looks like it would still apply,
to xhtml.conf. It just needs documenting and an equivalent for
html5.conf needs creating though.
FYI: despite my aversion against git (which is not based on any
experience
with it, of course but only on a comparison of `hg help log' with `git
help
log' ;-)) I've followed your advice and tried to fix it. so since today
I
have a github account, tried hard to understand what I am expected to do
(fork, clone, pull request) and hopefully succeeded w.r.t. expected
workflow. (if not, please advice).
Thanks for doing this.
pure selfishness ;-). the "asymmetric" support for mathematical equations
(just fine with pdf/dblatex, but not so much with html)
was always a problem for me.
Minor comments in a PS, but well done :)
I've put the matjax script block essentially where the original author
put
it (see mailing list) but avoided putting it within
the ifdef latexmath block since I believe it should go outside of it.
That makes sense to me.
In the long run I would want to look at how it could be made easier
for user configuration, a custom asciidoc.conf would have to include
the whole of the [header] section which is of course the largest and
messiest, and we just made it bigger.
yes, and, while it sure is nice to have potentially full control via
customization
of all the *.conf files it also is quite over the top in my view regarding
the
average (but possibly demanding) user. something like a _single_ simple
key/value resource file
without conditionals and deep magic
(think `.hgrc' or `.gitconfig') would be more accessible I believe. at
least all
the basic needs could be satisfied in this way, I would say. what do you
think?
currently, there are 25 conf-files (10 w/o the lang*.conf files), which is
quite something...
But lets get initial support into Asciidoc first :)
yep.
I also tried to augment the user guide. does the edit make sense?
Minor suggestion on the commit, but otherwise sure.
If you just add the comment that I think the PR should be ok to add as
is, I will assume you have tested both XHTML11 and HTML5 (hint hint
:).
as far as my tests go, yes: I put some equations (inline plus display) in
the middle of a 60+ pages document
and checked that they were rendered correctly with both backends. and the
dblatex backend also is still
happy (as it should be, but I've checked just to be sure). in this
context: I have never understood
what happens to the latexmath passthrough blocks when going through xml
(i.e. when using `a2x'):
`dblatex' finds the stuff and happily uses it, but `xsltproc' does not, it
seems. if I look into the
intermediate xml-file, the equations are there in some CDATA blocks
(whatever that is -- I don't know
nothing of docbook...) so why don't they make it into the final html
(where they would be taken care
of by mathjax)?
best,
joerg

PS On the git/github workflow, two points, which will also almost
certainly apply to any other git projects.
1. Make commit messages have a short summary as the first line < 80
chars, as a sentence with leading capital letter. Just describe the
commit, don't add "tentatively" or such, it gets copied into the
repository. If you are unsure about a change, put that in the github
comments not the commit message.
2. Although not essential on a low rate project like Asciidoc, making
the changes in a branch other than "master" lets people test your
changes without messing up their master branch, which should track the
repository. This is essential on a high rate project to keep your
understood.
changes separate from other peoples, and also helps to prevent
accidental commits of unwanted changes. Some projects are very
authoritarian on this.
I'll try to find out how this is done in `git' (in `mercurial' or `fossil'
I would know ...).
btw: in the asciidoc user guide the `hg' repo at google code is still
referenced. what exactly
is the state of affairs here? where are the future official releases to be
found?
also, out of curiosity: what triggered the move from `hg' to `git'? it
cannot have been "it has a better design and
is simpler to use" ;-)

I believe that improving support for mathematical typesetting
could
increase
asciidocs popularity in the corresponding communities.
thank you
