All these TeX-like math syntaxes seem to miss the point of markdown -- that it's as legible as possible in plain text form. I know they're very limited in how much math you can express in plain text, but using backslashes seems to be an admission of defeat. I'd expect a syntax more like OpenOffice math. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Math_commands_-_Reference https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_Us...
