LaTeX quality without a LaTeX install
Writing a whole document in LaTeX is overkill for homework, lab reports and notes — but Markdown alone can’t do equations. Markdown with math gives you the best of both: plain-text writing with first-class formulas. This editor uses KaTeX, the fast math renderer used across the web, and the browser’s print engine to produce a PDF where every symbol is crisp.

Tips
- Turn on Numbered headings for problem sets and reports.
- Use footnotes (
[^1]) for citations; they’re collected at the end. - Switch to Letter size in Style → Page if you’re in North America.
