> Latex is extremely powerful but reading the raw source of a text is a pain.
For the kind of text that you'd use Markdown for, i.e. text that is mostly just text and not math heavy, LaTeX should be almost as readable as Markdown. For example,
\section{Introduction}
is almost as readable as
## Introduction
- periheli0n 5y agoYes, almost ;)
- Lio 5y agoTakes a bit more typing though unless you some macros dedicated to it. Not hard to do but Markdown is easy to write anywhere.
- gilcot 5y agoPlus, you can have nice stuffs like: \section[short title in toc]{very very long title at page} and stared version. Those two things, Markdown cannot do, show the power of that syntax ovec simple bangs starting the line.
