\def\ctxmoduleasciimath#1{\ctxlua{moduledata.asciimath.#1}}

%D The following code is not officially supported and is only meant
%D for the Math4All project.
%D
%D The following code kind of maps ascii math
%D http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html onto \TEX. The
%D code was written for the math4all project but in retrospect we
%D could have used just tex code as the web version can handle that
%D as well. Anyhow, as we use \MATHML\ as basis it makes sense to add
%D this to the repertoire as annotation variant, so now we have
%D content \MATHML\ (prefered), presentation \MATHML\ (often messy),
%D \OPENMATH\ (what was which we started with in this project)
%D calcmath (handy for students who are accustomed to calculators),
%D asciimath (to make Frits's live easier) and of course \TEX. Of
%D course all are used mixed.
%D
%D We don't support all quirks of asciimath as I am not in the mood to
%D write a complex parser while a bit of sane coding can work as well.
%D
%D \startitemize
%D \item We support only the syntactically clear variants and as long
%D       as lpeg does not support left recursion this is as far as we
%D       want to go.
%D \item The parser is rather insensitive for spaces but yet the advice is
%D       to avoid weird coding like \type {d/dxf(x)} but use \type {d/dx
%D       f(x)} instead. After all we're not in a compact coding cq.\
%D       parser challenge.
%D \item We also don't support the somewhat confusing \type {sqrt sqrt 2}
%D       nor \type {root3x} (although the second one kind of works). A bit
%D       of defensive coding does not hurt.
%D \item We can process \type {a/b/c/d} but it's not compatible with the
%D       default behaviour of asciimath. Use grouping instead. Yes, we do
%D       support the somewhat nonstandard grouping token mix.
%D \item You should use explicit \type {text(..)} directives as one can
%D       never be sure what is a reserved word and  not.
%D \stopitemize
%D
%D Actually, as the only parsing sensitive elements of \TEX\ are
%D fractions (\type {\over} and friends, a restricted use of \TEX\
%D coding is probably as comprehensive and parseble.
%D
%D The webpage with examples served as starting point so anything beyond
%D what can be found there isn't supported.
