Inline superscript asterisk gets rendered as just a point

[fbruetting]

The inline math code Die Terme stem:[z_0^*] und gets rendered as

while as a block, the asterisk gets rendered correctly.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. For me, they both look the same. How is it supposed to look? Is this AsciiMath notation or LaTeX?

[fbruetting]

I defined :stem: asciimath. A block like

[latexmath]
++++
z_0^*
++++

renders a correct asterisk like this:

But inline like above just renders a dot.

Oh, after playing around, I realized that I need to type ** in order to produce an asterisk. Now I understand, guess the inline example uses AsciiMath rendering, and the block uses LaTeX. Then it’s not a bug… sorry!

Ok, now I specified :stem: latexmath and the outcome is exactly the same as above (asterisk gets inline rendered as a dot and in block notation correctly, even though LaTeX gets used in both inline and block notation). I’m confused… :/

[fbruetting]

Ok, now I have it. :stem: latexmath didn’t work, because the line contained a comment afterwards. This for whatever reason made the whole line invalid, so that LaTeX was never used for stem:[] statements…
