Improve LaTeX spport #62

Closed Ceasar closed 6 years ago

Ceasar commented 6 years ago

Currently LaTeX support (with the :math: directive) is limited to only some basic symbols. Complex symbols, and even simple ones like fractions, do not work.

It would be more useful, especially for more technical users, if we had better support for latex.

Support is limited to a subset of LaTeX math by the conversion required for many output formats. For HTML, the math_output configuration setting (or the corresponding --math-output command line option) select between alternative output formats with different subsets of supported elements. If a writer does not support math typesetting at all, the content is inserted verbatim.

Looks like MathJax is the best option for supporting the mot LaTeX math commands.
