See Appendix I in the AsciiDoc User Guide for more details. The AsciiDoc `xhtml11` backend supports ASCIIMathML — it links the ASCIIMathML script and escapes ASCIIMathML delimiters and special characters to yield valid XHTML. To use ASCIIMathML: Include the `-a asciimath` command-line option when you run ``asciidoc(1)``. Enclose ASCIIMathML formulas inside double-dollar passthroughs. Here's the AsciiDoc source that generated this page. NOTE If the formulas don't appear to be correct you probably need to install the correct math fonts (see the ASCIIMathML website for details). See the LaTeXMathML page if you prefer to use LaTeX math formulas. A list of formulas with a mixture of formatting: `[[a,b],[c,d]]((n),(k))` `x/x={(1,if x!=0),(text{undefined},if x=0):}` `d/dxf(x)=lim_(h->0)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h` Red `sum_(i=1)\^n i=(n(n+1))/2` and bold `int_0\^(pi/2) sinx\ dx=1` 1.5 times normal size `(a,b]={x in RR : a < x <= b}` A big blue formula `x^2+y_1+z_12^34`. `x^2+y_1+z_12^34` The first three terms factor to give $(x+b/(2a))^2=(b^2)/(4a^2)-c/a$. Now we take square roots on both sides and get $x+b/(2a)=+-sqrt((b^2)/(4a^2)-c/a)$. Finally we move the $b/(2a)$ to the right and simplify to get the two solutions: `x_(1,2)=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)`.
