Then try AsciiMath[0]. It does a fine job of representing math as plain-text, and I find it far more sane than LaTeX for my typical use cases.
LaTeX:
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & 1 \\
1 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix}
AsciiMath:
[[0,1], [1,0]]

- Pxtl 9y agoNeat! I wonder if asciimath could be extended to an "intermediate form". Just like how there are two forms of MarkDown, there's the easy to type # this is a header and the more elaborate this is a header ================ which conveys more "headerness" and is more readable than the first. the same could be done with something like ASCIIMath, where a plain-Unicode representation could be an intermediate form between ASCII and MathML. Why? Because keyboards don't type in Unicode, but you don't want to be storing only the final output - storing an intermediate Unicode form seems best, assuming you can keep modifyign it using ASCII and then going ASCII + Unicode => Unicode.
