AsciiMath

Do you plan to support AsciiMath formula input?

Inline AsciiMath Example: `@(1/2[1-(1/2)^n])/(1-(1/2))=s_n@`

We support LaTeX using KaTeX. You can use it like this:

$$
(1/2[1-(1/2)^n])/(1-(1/2))=s_n
$$

and it will render like this: image

Neat! What about AsciiMath?

astoilkov commented 4 years ago

AsciiMath is not on our radar for now. You are the first to request this. I am leaving this issue open so people can vote here.

I just found out about asciimath. I take a lot of math notes using Latex on roamresearch.com. I tried it out for a simple equation (t-statistic) and it was definitely more enjoyable than Latex.

I'd love it.
