Every time someone brings up LaTeX I bring up Pandoc. It's an awesome conversion tool written in Haskell that converts between a number of input and output languages, most notably from markdown to LaTeX or a PDF made with LaTeX. I've been using it for all my assignments and papers since I got it, and it's really nice to write in markdown, but be able to use LaTeX for things markdown can't handle.

- astine 17y agoEmacs Muse is another project that is worth looking at for this kind of work: http://mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html http://mwolson.org/projects/EmacsMuse.html It's basically a markup language not too different from markdown, but which is much more flexible and translates to LaTeX, HTML, PDF, etc.
- pellicle 17y agoYes. It's great to be able to use a LaTeX-formatted equation into a regular Pandoc Markdown document. BTW, for those wanting to learn more about how to use LaTeX, you might try writing your doc in Markdown, pandoc it into LaTeX, and then look at that LaTeX output in your editor. I'll add though, that with LaTeX I had to write markup. With Markdown I just write.
