I know "input/TeX include both displayed equations and line equations
Does "input/AsciiMath" also include both displayed equations and line
equations?

Thanks!

The AsciiMath syntax is a simple one and it does not have two separate
in-line and display modes. I assume the idea is that you will use
HTML directly to separate and center the displayed equations.

There is a configuration parameter that lets you decide whether limits
are displayed above and below operators like summations (like in TeX's
\displaystyle) or to the right (like in TeX's \textstyle), but that is
global, and affects all equations, no matter where they appear.

I considered whether to add a distinction between in-line and display
math (say `...` and ``...``) and switch the parameter depending on
which is used, but decided to stick with the pure ASCIIMathML approach
for compatibility's sake.
