thinkbayes DocBook: some display equations have spurious {{

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This turns out to be a problem with tralics.

If an expression contains both \mathit and \frac, tralics generates a spurious }

I have submitted a bug report

The nice people at tralics have pointed out that the latex generated by plasTeX 
was broken, and that the output from tralics was not-a-bug.

I have added a workaround in tree_cleaner.py:

        # the following is a hack to work around a problem with
        # \ensuremath, which generates spurious \mathit commands.
        # I couldn't find the source of the problem, so I'm cleaning
        # it up here.  Sadly, this will cause a problem if the \mathit
        # was needed.
        latex = re.sub(r'\mathit', r'', latex)
