Arg, this reads like LaTeX without the backslashes and with minor inconsistencies. Why not just use a proper subset of LaTeX math notation instead of inventing yet another syntax?
- arve0 10y agoBecause, sometime you don't need all the whistles, but only a subset. Curious, what inconsistencies does asciimath have?
- jahewson 10y agoProbably for the same reason that we don't create modern programming languages using a subset of FORTRAN syntax: because we can do better. Note that one of the advantages of asciimath is that it maps unambiguously to MathML.
