LaTeXMarkdown

Write academic publications in Markdown with LaTeX interspersed:

We can derive that the values $`x \in \mathbb{R}`
that are in range, follow the equation:

```latex
\phi(x) \geq 1 - \sqrt[N]{1 - \gamma}
```

Get it compiled on the command line:

$ npm install -g latexmarkdown
$ <paper.md latexmarkdown >paper.html

From there, you may open it in a Web browser, and either print it, or convert it to PDF, if you are interested in such inferior formats.

Format

LaTeX

Inline: with $`x` or latex`x` (where x is the LaTeX content).

To actually print a visibly concatenated dollar sign with a code x, place a U+200B Zero-Width Space ​ between them.

Block: using fenced code.

```latex
x
```

Syntax highlighting

Block form is the most common:

```rust
println!("Hello, world!")
```

Inline form: with rust`println!("inline code")`.

Automatic links

Headings automatically get linkable identifiers with a clickable link:

# Impact of war on the Lebanese electric grid

…becomes:

<h1 id="impact-of-war-on-the-lebanese-electric-grid"
  Impact of war on the Lebanese electric grid
  <a href="#impact-of-war-on-the-lebanese-electric-grid">
    §
  </a>
</h1>

Installation

First, you need to have Node.js installed.

Then, all you need to do is:

npm install -g latexmarkdown

CLI

• stdin is a LaTeXMarkdown file to convert.
• stdout is a generated HTML file.
• --body generates only the body (which excludes CSS linking). That can be used to serve your own, concatenated CSS.

Plans

• Link to sections / images / tables
• References / Bibliography
• Footnotes? (Maybe as sidenotes?)
• Table of contents
• Tables (can technically already be done in raw HTML)
