  • markdown-it

    Markdown parser, done right. 100% CommonMark support, extensions, syntax plugins & high speed

  • So I guess recently, VS Code now natively supports Markdown preview natively, which is amazing. I guess they're "targeting" CommonMark__ via the markdown-it compiler. Though absent from the docs, the VS code markdown preview seems to accomodate math-mode enviroments which is awesome, I presume defined by a markdown-it extension such as markdown-it-katex though I can't seem to find actually documentation on the math-mode implementation in VS Code. Strange...

  • markdown-it-katex

    Add Math to your Markdown with a KaTeX plugin for Markdown-it

  • MathJax

    Beautiful and accessible math in all browsers

  • Fundamentally, I'd love for my math/markdown notes to be portable, not just viewable via a markdown reader. Ideally, with as little work as possible I'd LOVE it if I could just publish my .md as Jekyll posts hosted on Github Pages. Unfortunately as far as I can tell, GH Pages used kramdown which accomodates math-mode for MathJax rather than KaTeX.

  • pandoc

    Universal markup converter

  • For a while I was using an extension Markdown All in One to write up quick little notes/derivations. It could export to html and I tried to customize the settings to emulate/match that of Pandoc so I could more professionaly export my notes to a pdf, though this has always been clunky.

  • pages-gem

    A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages
