I see, thank you both for your response. I guess I will have to go with enclosing things in a Span or Div element. If I’m designing my own writer though, I’m not sure why this: [$x = 1+2$]{ .cs #math:equation caption=test} Is any better than this: [x = 1+2]{ .cs #math:equation caption=test} Because in both cases I have access to the LaTeX math inside of the span. What added advantage does including the mathematical expression between dollar signs $...$ provide?
