No LaTeX formatting when converting from LaTeX to icml??

No LaTeX formatting when converting from LaTeX to icml??

I've did a fair amount of LaTeX back in the day, newbie to PanDoc. Just 
installed the latest and greatest:

MikTex 2.9.5721
PanDoc 1.15.2
(Win7x64)

I use PanDoc to convert a trivial tex file like:

\documentclass[book]
\begin{document}

*hello$^{world}$     % 'world' should output as a superscript*

\end{document}

I convert it to icml with

          pandoc -s -f latex -t icml -o blah.icml blah.tex

When I place blah.icml in my InDesign file, '^{world}' is passed through 
raw/unprocessed, instead of being converted to a superscript as expected. 
(Arg!)

(When I generate a pdf using MikTex without PanDoc, the superscript is as 
expected)

Many Thanx!!

Currently the ICML writer just outputs the raw tex math,
which isn't great.  I'll change it to use the "faking it
with unicode" method when possible (this should work in
your particular example).

You have to use 'math mode' for for superscripts (for footnotes) and 
special characters (e.g. Greek letters). That's all *I* use 'math mode' 
for, at least -- and I'm typesetting a completely math free document.

It's not advisable to use math mode for those sorts of things in modern LaTeX; you will get better results from both programs from the specific macros for these purposes.
