substitution definition of a math formula

[shimizukawa]

It seems to be impossible to define substitutions for math formulas.

To demonstrate the error, try to compile the following simple code

#!rest

This is a simple math equation |eqn| .

.. |eqn|  math:: e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0

When I try to compile it, am getting the following error:

(WARNING/2) Substitution definition "eqn" empty or invalid.

.. |eqn|  math:: e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0

You'll need to use a slightly different syntax:

{{{
.. |eqn| replace:: :math:formula
}}}
