Description Miraceti 2008-12-29 12:17:51 UTC
I propose a new attribute "indent" for <math> tag. Its value should be ordinary numbers =>0, default value = 0. If value==0 then the formula will be displayed inline in the text. If value>0, the formula will be displayed on a new line (not in a new paragraph!), properly indented.

A colon (:) is used very often for intendation of the math formula. Since the colon should be actually used only in definition lists (see [[bugzilla:4521]]), this enhancement should help to change this behaviour.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2008-12-30 02:05:05 UTC
We already have a standard wiki method for indendation, which is the colon (:).

While one may argue that the current HTML output for that is semantically incorrect due to its original lineage (also used for the definition part of definition lists), that's a separate issue which should be addressed separately.
