Various styles are packed in themes, which the user can select when exporting to PDF. At present, there are only three themes:

Millions of dollars in time wasted making papers fit journal guidelines
KeenWrite Themes[1] are instructions that tell ConTeXt how to typeset XHTML documents (content) into PDF files (presentation). I made a tutorial that shows how my FOSS desktop text editor, KeenWrite[3], allows users to write in Markdown to typeset a document against a particular theme.
Before it can be used for scientific papers, it needs cross-references, which, unfortunately, aren't part of the CommonMark specification.
I posit that the vast majority of LaTeX users don't grok how to separate content from presentation. When I asked a question on TeX.SE about how to adjust the line spacing between enumerated items (spanning a couple dozen enumerated lists), the vast majority of people voted for the answer of using `\itemsep0em` to tweak each list ... individually.[4] The correct answer, IMO, is to fix the problem globally, and not waste time tweaking individual lists.

Lua: The Little Language That Could
The ConTeXt typesetting system tightly integrates Lua. One aspect of Lua that I dislike is its inability to easily write OOP-ish code. What's impressive about the language is that it can be extended to do so in astonishingly little code:
* https://github.com/kikito/middleclass
With OOP in place, I was able to typeset a hexagonal grid and a symbolic representation of a neural network on top, using a more OOP-like approach. The classes are straightforward.
A vertex defines a point in 2D space:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
An edge connects two vertices:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
A graph connects edges:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
A priority queue serves for ordering graph edges by weight of adjoining vertices:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
With these concepts in hand, we can typeset a grid and a "neural network" on top:
* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes/blob/main/bos...
Here's an example of the output for chapter 1:
* https://i.ibb.co/19DCDZy/ch-1.png
And chapter 14, where the "network" has grown in complexity:
* https://i.ibb.co/ncf16vg/ch-2.png
This is for my near future hard sci-fi book on AGI. I'm looking for alpha readers to give me feedback. See profile for contact details.

KeenWrite 3.2.0
KeenWrite uses themes to control every aspect of the presentation layer: leader dots, indentation levels, fonts, colours, hyperlinking, and so forth. This is accomplished by first converting R Markdown to XHTML then passing the XHTML to ConTeXt.

Pure Java Typesetting System
> like font face, font size, horizontal and vertical element positioning and line spacing, etc.
May I recommend ConTeXt?
For my purposes, KeenType was only meant to provide a real-time "rough draft" of equations rendered inside of KeenWrite[0], my FOSS Markdown editor. That is, I edit in Markdown, then KeenWrite converts the inline TeX-based equations for previewing. When I'm ready to create a "finished" product, KeenWrite exports the Markdown to XHTML then feeds the XHTML, along with a theme, to ConTeXt[1]. The various themes[2] are where font faces sizes, alignment, kerning, etc. are tweaked. In this way content remains completely separated from presentation.

Architecture diagrams should be code
KeenWrite[0], the FOSS Markdown text editor I’ve been working on, includes the ability to render plain text diagrams via Kroki[1]†. See the screenshots[2] for examples. Here’s a sample Markdown document that was typeset[3] using ConTeXt[4] (and an early version of the Solare[5] theme).
One reason I developed KeenWrite was to use variables inside of plain text diagrams. In the genealogy diagram, when any character name (that’s within the diagram) is updated, the diagram regenerates automatically. (The variables are defined in an external YAML file, allowing for integration with build pipelines.)
Version 3.x containerizes the typesetting system, which greatly simplifies the installation instructions that allow typesetting Markdown into PDF files. It also opens the door to moving Kroki into the container so that diagram descriptions aren’t pushed over the Internet to be rendered.
†Kroki, ergo KeenWrite, supports BlockDiag (BlockDiag, SeqDiag, ActDiag, NwDiag, PacketDiag, RackDiag), BPMN, Bytefield, C4 (with PlantUML), Ditaa, Erd, Excalidraw, GraphViz, Nomnoml, Pikchr, PlantUML, Structurizr, SvgBob, UMLet, Vega, Vega-Lite, and WaveDrom.
Note that Mermaid diagrams generate non-conforming SVG[6], so they don’t render outside of web browsers. There is work being done to address[7] this problem.

Is it possible to add LaTeX commands to a markdown file?
KeenWrite leverages KeenWrite Themes to change how documents are presented. The Tarmes theme is an example of a very basic theme, meant to act as a base for making new themes. Take a look at Tarmes, which is probably the closest answer to your question. Feel free to add issues against the issue tracker or add questions to the discussion area.

Converting my PhD thesis into HTML
> Nevertheless, I would prefer a Markdown-based system
My free, cross-platform desktop Markdown editor, KeenWrite[1], integrates with the ConTeXt typesetting software[2]. I'm working on a branch[3] to make integration containerized[3] because its installation is painful. KeenWrite limits math to plain TeX[4] so that the output can be rendered using any TeX-based typesetter (ConTeXt, LaTeX, MathJax, εχTEX, etc.).
Here's a sample document typeset using ConTeXt (skip to page 40 for the math):
https://pdfhost.io/v/4FeAGGasj_SepiSolar_Highlevel_Software_...
That document theme is called Solare[8].
> that can use CSS and MathML
Adding CSS mixes presentation logic with content, which is something KeenWrite strives to avoid. Instead, KeenWrite implements Pandoc's annotation syntax to keep presentation logic out of the content. I've written about this extensively in my Typesetting Markdown series[5].
You can produce some pretty amazing documents just with annotations, such as the following that I wrote in Markdown and typeset using ConTeXt:
https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf
> has a 100% bibtex clone for references.
Markdown fails at references. At some point, I'd like to implement cross-references in KeenWrite. Except there's at least six competing standards for the syntax, which I've also remarked upon[6], making the choice of syntax difficult[7].

KaTeX-Compatible Test File
I want to resolve this KaTeX issue, so in order to test my ideas, is there some LaTeX test file with just a lot of equations, preferably inline (since this issue is related to inline math) but without fancy libraries or stuff not included in KaTeX?

MathJax – Beautiful and accessible math in all browsers
> Could you elaborate on why you switched away from it?
I started using KaTeX sometime after 2015 because it promised to be fast (the fastest! [1]). I had to change the representation of a bunch of expressions because KaTeX didn't support some environments, whilst MathJax did. It was a trade-off I was willing to accept at the time.
Many years later, I started writing a personal static-site generator. I wanted comparatively lightweight pages, so rendering server-side was an option. I re-evaluated MathJax vs KaTeX again and this time I leaned towards MathJax, as speed was no longer an issue for me. It looks like KaTeX has broader support now [2].

If you want to make it from scratch, go with https://www.slatejs.org/examples/richtext, then use something like https://katex.org/ for rendering the LaTeX, and maybe Mathjs.org for plotting.

The fastest math typesetting library for the web
The speed of KaTeX is great, but the lack of support for diagrams (a la tikz-cd) is what makes KaTeX unsuitable for general adoption by mathematicians (e.g., mathoverflow.net and all online mathematical wiki I know use MathJax). KaTeX has some rudimentary support for diagrams though the {CD} environment, but something more fully fledged akin to tizk-cd or xymatrix is needed. There's been some discussion on their github (https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/219), but I wouldn't hold my breath.
