Does it support typesetting mathematical formulas like tex/latex does? That's a very important feature for any kind of scientific publishing.

- simoncozens 12y agoIt doesn't, yet; TeX is very good at that, so if that's a need you have, stick with TeX. I'm not trying to corner the whole typesetting market! However, it shouldn't be difficult (especially now that MathJax is in Javascript, a language not a million miles away from Lua) to add support for maths typesetting. Patches welcome!
- jimhefferon 12y agoVery nice system, Simon. Can I ask if you have given math any thought? Obviously TeX does great with math but there are still some things that many people think could bear improvement, with thirty years of hindsight (including, as I understand it, additional math categories and omitting the restriction on just a few fonts).
