You can include LaTeX math equations in AsciiDoc documents that are processed by dblatex. The AsciiDoc latexmath macros
and passthrough blocks generate DocBook inlineequation, informalequation and equation elements containing the LaTeX markup
which is processed by dblatex.
1
Inline equations
This markup:
An inline equation latexmath:[$C = \alpha + \beta Y^{\gamma} + \epsilon$]
using the ’latexmath’ inline macro.
Renders:
An inline equation C = α + βY γ + ε using the latexmath inline macro.
2
Informal equations
Informal (untitled) equations are generated with a latexmath style passthrough delimited block. This markup:
[latexmath]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
\[C = \alpha + \beta Y^{\gamma} + \epsilon\]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Renders:
C = α + βY γ + ε
Functionally identical block macro syntax:
latexmath::[\[C = \alpha + \beta Y^{\gamma} + \epsilon\]]
Renders:
C = α + βY γ + ε
3
Formal equations
Formal equations are titled and are generated with a latexmath style passthrough delimited block.
