I think no. Can you as easily type e.g. math formulas in HTML5 as in LaTex, in the plain text editor?

- tunnuz 14y agoI'm thinking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML
- exim 14y agoIt is good for viewing, but not for producing, I think. You can compare LateX vs MathML examples on that page. MathML xml is not something you can type as quickly and easily.
- tunnuz 14y agoI somehow agree with you, LaTeX formulas are simply easy to type, while typing MathML syntax is a bit involved. However, as I somewhere pointed out, I'm thinking at HTML5 as a product, not necessarily to be authored manually. A Textile/Markdown variant could easily handle LaTeX-style formulas and translate them to MathML for HTML5 publishing.
