LaTeX Input for Impatient Scholars
LaTeX tends to intertwine content and presentation logic. In contrast, ConTeXt employs the concept of "setups" that make keeping the two aspects of a document distinct [0]. Part 8 of my Typesetting Markdown series [1] shows how to use annotations to write a poem in plain text, then subsequently format it using ConTeXt.
In many cases, authors need only basic TeX, which can be rendered by LaTeX, ConTeXt, and other TeX-based typesetting solutions. My text editor, KeenWrite, provides real-time basic TeX rendering. See the screenshots [2] for examples of inline math, variables, and applying different themes to PDF files based on a single source document.

My notes suck. I don't know why and how to improve. Please share your notes for me 🆘
i used LaTeX for many years for my notes, presentations and correspondance. However i've had multiple issues when combining packages, so i kept using it despite these limitations until i found exactly what a was looking for: ConTeXT

Why isn't ConTeXt as popular as LaTeX?
No idea what you mean by ecosystem here. Both Emacs with AucTeX and Vim support ConTeXt out-of-the-box. The ConTeXt standalone distribution also comes with plugins for other editors, e.g. VSCode for those who like editing text files in a web browser.

How to write LaTeX without writing LaTeX
If your only target from Markdown is LaTeX, I recommend the LaTeX markdown package which uses lua to parse and convert the input markdown: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown
Pandoc shines when targetting multiple backends, like EPUB, HTML and LaTeX/PDF. But the LaTeX markdown package has one advantage when only targetting LaTeX, especially in academic settings: it translates everything to the LaTeX you'd expected. For example, citations are translated into biblatex calls, while pandoc generates all of the citations and the bibliography by itself, bypassing the style and behavior you and your professors might expect.

Coming soon: Publishing Beautiful Books with Markdown
For a conversion to an e-book, it is possible to take a trip through (La)TeX and TeX4ht, or use Pandoc, which is pretty good at converting from Markdown to HTML (better than between, say, HTML and LaTeX). We will cover all these aspects and more in our book, which itself will be written and typeset using the Markdown package.
