The formulas describing the Equidistant Cylindrical projection are all taken from proj4 sources.
:math:`lat_ts` is the latitude of true scale, that mean the standard parallels where the scale of the projection is true.
:math:`lat_0` is the latitude of origin that match the center of the map.

This section would be more clear if some of the variables are defined here. Like phi_ts is the latitude of true scale and can be set with +lat_ts.

I tryed something with the parameters.
You may have a look on it ?
I feel it is important to evaluate the quality before stepping to an other projection doc.

:math:`phi_{ts}` is the latitude of true scale, that mean the standard parallels where the scale of the projection is true. It can be set with "lat_ts".

I think there's a backslash missing here. Same for the line below.


:math:`phi_0` is the latitude of origin that match the center of the map. It can be set with "lat_0".
