Maybe you are right. At least, I think that the combination of reST with Pandoc was less than inspired. reST may be great. Pandoc may be great. But together they cancel each other.

You see... I just found a way to make the math work... by essentially writing everything in HTML. Ah... the irony... I just can't get over the irony. Moving to reST was supposed to make the docs more portable, but to make the system work at all you have to plaster the doc with HTML everywhere and the result is something *less* portable than before.

This is sad. I'm actually sad right now. I found a way to make it work. It really does work. HTML has the <sup> and <sub> tags which are enough to give me superscripts and subscripts, and all major browsers support these tags. But it means that you end up writing all the Patch Theory documentation in pure HTML.

What's the point of reST if all your "reST" code looks like this:

.. raw::html
   ... ...
