Are you sure?  I have tables and math formulas in my driver docs, I 
think they need
an add-on to asciidoc.  We used to have TeX-style typeset math formulas, 
but that got
so broken that I ended up linking .png graphics files in the document!  
Hideously
gross way to have to get a simple formula into the text!

I don't think these formulas can be put in a man page at all, except as 
a pure
ascii representation, which was the whole reason to go through the insane
hassle for these formulas.
