Yep.  For notes there is little justification for the full complexity of LaTeX, the most one needs is islands of LaTeX math.  And you don&#x27;t even need TeX installed — html with mathjax&#x2F;katex is more flexible most of the time (but Pandoc will easily convert to latex&#x2F;beamer when you need them).<p>I&#x27;m cataloguing math support in markdown tools at
<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cben&#x2F;mathdown&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;math-in-markdown" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cben&#x2F;mathdown&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;math-in-markdown</a>
(help welcome).
If you don&#x27;t know where to start, the first to check out are probably StackEdit, Atom + <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discuss.atom.io&#x2F;t&#x2F;using-atom-for-academic-writing&#x2F;19222&#x2F;3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discuss.atom.io&#x2F;t&#x2F;using-atom-for-academic-writing&#x2F;19...</a>.<p>I have a theory that a single pane styled in-place is  nicer for quick writing than 2 source+preview pane.  Typora, Texts.io, and my own <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mathdown.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mathdown.net</a> do that.<p>If you do want full latex, try Overleaf.com, which has &quot;rich text&quot; mode where many constructs (sections, lists, math) are styled in-place (you could even hide the PDF pane).
