How does Markdown fill the niche of TeX or Scientific Word? Is there a mathematically oriented fork? You mentioned R Markdown in another comment, but I don't see anything in the gallery that looks germane.
- dunham 5y agopandoc will turn markdown with TeX formatted equations into PDF or html (relying on tex and mathjax, respectively). It can also turn it into TeX if you need to tweak stuff. A number of other systems like Obsidian (for note taking) use markdown and integrate MathJaX or KaTeX to render TeX formatted equations.
- bachmeier 5y agoPandoc includes math support out of the box. R Markdown is actually built on top of Pandoc. I know many academics that write their papers in (Pandoc) markdown and then convert to PDF. It creates an intermediate .tex file that is then converted to PDF.
