ASCIIMathMl in ipython notebook
Question: Since ipython notebook renders math using the mathjax library. Mathjax
officially supports the asciimath syntax. But I'm unable to get it rendered
correctly in ipython notebook

    
    
    from IPython.display import Math
    Math(r'x^2 or a_(m n) or a_{m n} or (x+1)/y or sqrtx')
    

the syntax inside the quotes is
[asciimath](http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimathsyntax.html)
syntax. IPython notebook 1.0 dev cannot render it correctly. Is there a way to
enable this support.


Answer: I have not tried it but this link is supposed to show how to enable asciimath
in an [ipython notebook](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/4052).

One of the developers explains why they prefer to use LaTeX.
