There is the "compound" directive in reStructuredText:
The "compound" directive is used to create a compound paragraph, which
is a single logical paragraph containing multiple physical body
elements such as simple paragraphs, literal blocks, tables, lists,
etc., instead of directly containing text and inline elements. For
example::
.. compound::
The 'rm' command is very dangerous. If you are logged
in as root and enter ::
cd /
rm -rf *
you will erase the entire contents of your file system.

Since version 0.8, Docutils supports math with MathML and HTML+CSS output
options in HTML. (I don't know how good these work in ePub, though.)
