This is wonderful. However, I always loved markdown because of its being so simple and fast. Isn't Latex Turing-Complete?

- legulere 10y agoBeing turing-complete doesn't prevent you from emulating it. Also the subset of math expressions should be pretty simple.
- contravariant 10y agoTeX has \def which basically allows you to write lambda expressions, so yeah it's Turing complete. The basic math notation isn't though, and I'd be surprised if this extension allows you to use \def (or really any of the more powerful features of TeX).
- Mtinie 10y agoIf it's using the full selection of functions available to KaTeX, here's the list: https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/wiki/Function-Support-in-KaTeX https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/wiki/Function-Support-in-KaTeX \def isn't included in the core set, from what I can see.
