Based on this discussion I've opened https://github.com/alexisannerossi/id-mathinrfcs/pull/10 The main change, aside from dropping the word "crude", is to split the usage requirement in three: 1. Block equations need to use the math form always. 2. Inline equations in text can use the math form, but can also use a simpler representation where that makes more sense. 3. Equations in figures probably can't use the math form, so they either need to be purely illustrative or any math needs to appear elsewhere. Does that sound reasonable? -- rswg mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
