I have some mathematical expression that I would like to reuse in my asciidoc document:

:stem: latexmath

[latexmath]
++++        
E^{\unicode{x2307}\unicode{x2307}\unicode{x2307}}       
++++

In order to get equations that are easier to read I would like to use a shortcut, e.g. 

:stem: latexmath

[latexmath]
++++        
E^{\myCustomSymbol}       
++++

or 

:stem: latexmath

[latexmath]
++++        
E^{include::myCustomSymbol.ad}       
++++

=> How can I use asciidoc imports inside mathematical expressions or

=> How can I define mathjax macros inside asciidoc (is it possible to adapt the mathjax configuration with some special commands) ?

Try

:stem: latexmath

[latexmath]
++++        
\newcommand{\myCustomSymbol}{{\unicode{x2307}\unicode{x2307}\unicode{x2307}}}
E^{\myCustomSymbol}       
++++

[latexmath]
++++
E^{\myCustomSymbol}       
++++

You only need to define the symbol once, then can use it from then on.

  • Note that this indeed works fine with asciidoctor, but not asciidoctor-pdf (with asciidoctor-mathematical). I couldn't find any way to make it also work for the latter so far, unfortunately. – VZ. May 21 '23 at 16:42
