I've picked up studying math. Right now I'm using "plain" markdown, but I'm starting to struggle with writing down formulas. Is this something that Obsidian (or something related) support well?

My notes are pretty math-heavy, and for that reason I really prefer WYSIWYG rather than a split view or staring at the LaTeX source most of the time. Something like the Typora editor on top of Obsidian would be great. If only both were open source! I've been hacking on my own clone [1] for the past year with a WYSIWYG editor based on ProseMirror. Here's the demo page [2] for the math editor!

  Typora UI emulation is one of the devs' top to-dos, and I've found they move remarkably fast on these things, so stay tuned... (EDIT: Fair point re: open source, though I find the use of Markdown and easy exportability mitigating.)

I'm currently using Obsidian to convert my handwritten notes to .md files for Discrete Math. Besides the links already mentioned, this one is great as well as it gives some quick reference examples. https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5020/mathjax-basic-tutorial-and-quick-reference?page=1&tab=votes#tab-top https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5020/mathjax-b...
