• The fastest math typesetting library for the web

  Sure thing, a quick search yields Asciimath which seems at least at first glance as huge improvement in the syntax department: http://asciimath.org As for LaTeX in general, Markdown beats it soundly in most aspects. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Compilable Markdown for Linear Algebra

  What are the syntax differences to https://asciimath.org? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to write more complex math expressions in AsciiDoc?

  I did some Googling, and thought AsciiMath is the answer (simply because it also contains "Ascii" in the name). Turns out it's a different solution. Source: almost 2 years ago

• LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?

  Math syntax is a bit more challenging, because I'm sure no one wants 12 even if that would make the grammar simpler. Attempts to do this are thin on the ground: as you note, Markdown and other similar tools completely punted on math. AsciiMath is one idea, although not what you want in a full-fledged typesetting language. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Rendering LaTeX in Markdown with actual LaTeX

  I like to use asciimath for this, though I realize that it's not as powerful as LaTeX or MathJax. There's a decent Rust port: asciimath-rs. Source: almost 2 years ago

• AsciidocFX: The Asciidoc Editor for documentation and authoring

  AsciidocFX, is an open-source, cross-platform editor that provides an exceptional user experience and a comprehensive set of features for working with Asciidoc files. Though Asciidoctor provides these capabilities, not everyone will be comfortable enough to work in the commandline or shell setting that's where AsciidocFX comes to the rescue. Let's explore some of the key capabilities that make AsciidocFX stand out. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• I don't always use LaTeX, but when I do, I compile to HTML (2013)

  You have also AsciiDoctor ( https://asciidoctor.org/ ) which is alive and well. I am using it for technical CS documentation internally, but only for single page documents. I did not try to deploy their whole multi-document setup called Antora ( https://antora.org/ ). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Documentation generators and custom syntax highlighting

  I use Asciidoctor, highlightjs, a custom highlight.js language definition and that bash script:. Source: about 1 year ago

• I wish Asciidoc was more popular

  In fact, also this claim is wrong, because there are three :D 1. https://asciidoctor.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Markdown, Asciidoc, or reStructuredText - a tale of docs-as-code

  Asciidoctor is a Ruby-based text processor for parsing AsciiDoc into a document model and converting it to HTML5, PDF, EPUB3, and other formats. Built-in converters for HTML5, DocBook5, and man pages are available in Asciidoctor. Asciidoctor has an out-of-the-box default stylesheet and built-in integrations for MathJax (display beautiful math in your browser), highlight.js, Rouge, and Pygments (syntax... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
