Welcome,

I see that asciimath (https://rubygems.org/gems/asciimath/) is written in ruby, so to use it from the maven plugin you need to add some extra code into the maven configuration.
It's the same for any extra Ruby extension you want to use*, it's not hard, just cumbersome.

You can take this example as template https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-examples/blob/master/asciidoctor-diagram-example/.
Once you have the name of the gem and the version you want to use (https://rubygems.org/gems/asciimath/), just add them as a ruby dependency:
· https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-examples/blob/master/asciidoctor-diagram-example/pom.xml#L33,L34
And then, tell asciidoctor that you want to load it changing the name here:
· https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-examples/blob/master/asciidoctor-diagram-example/pom.xml#L91

This should work, if it doesn't please, let us know.

* There are some extentions which are embedded with asciidoctorj adn don't require this configuration...but let's skip that for now to keep things simple ^^

PS: I guess latexmath is not asciidoctro right? I cannot find it.
