- mobitar 10y agoYes, totally possible. Right now extensions are data based. But there is another breed of extensions we're building towards, which is "previewers" or "renderers", which allow you to parse the text and display it in any which way. This will be coming pretty soon, and will replace the current built-in Markdown editor with an extension. Trying to remove as much built in dependencies as possible.
- jimbokun 10y agoI tried to take latex notes for a while in my machine learning class, but found pencil and paper to be much, much more ergonomic. I was spending time thinking about the latex syntax, distracting me from thinking about the actual content. Also, spatial arrangement of elements is an important part of mathematical notation for understanding the relationships between entities, which can get lost looking at unrendered latex content.
- lovelearning 10y agoThere are multiple ways you can do this already: - Typora. Markdown format. Equations rendered on return key. - RStudio. Markdown format. However equations don't get rendered immediately. Requires a knit HTML or PDF action. Still, it's my preferred tool. - Jupyter notebook. ipynb format - can be exported to HTML or PDF. Equations get rendered somewhat immediately (after a shift return keypress). - Libreoffice Writer. ODT format, can be exported to HTML or PDF. Uses its own equation editor (which is quite good if you like GUIs). Rendered immediately while equation is being typed. Used this for my first ML class - no trouble at all.
