Markdown for formatting + AsciiMath for math + Latex for the weird stuff
A replacement for LaTeX based on Markdown and AsciiMath.
Here's the same document written in both LaTeX and Caoutchouc:
LaTeX | Caoutchouc |
---|---|
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \begin{document} \section{Introduction} $$\dfrac{1\cdot \alpha}{2}$$ \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=9cm]{image} \caption{A caption} \end{figure} \end{document} |
# Introduction €€(1*alpha)/2€€ ![A caption](image.png) |
It's easy to see that the Caoutchouc version is much more readable, easy, simple and less verbose.
For a detailed explanation of the improvements that Caouchouc brings over LaTeX, read Why was caoutchouc created?.

The site could be slow and may collapse under heavy load, as it's running on a basic VPS.
Pre-requisites: A local installation of texlive.
npm install -g caou
caou file.md # Generates file.pdf
For more information about the caou
compiler, run man caou

# Caoutchouc - **Markdown**[^1] - **Math** made easy: €1+2*sqrt(2)-pi+alpha/(3.2-1)€ - **LaTeX\ can be directly embedded: \usepackage{xcolor} \colorbox{red}{Colored text!} $$x\overset{\Bbb{R}}{+} y=x\overset{\Bbb{Q}}{+} y$$ [^1]: extended with footnotes and many other goodies from pandoc-flavoured markdown |
