Use case or problem
End goal of note taking as a grad student/researcher is to - be able to reference it back or create report/articles. Articles/reports are usually created in latex for most of STEM community.
Being able to quickly convert markdown to latex (using some regex parser e.g. # becomes section, ## becomes subsection etc.) could be productive for scientific community in general.
Also, enhancing look and feel of rendered markdown as a latex document could also be great. e.g. rendering equation numbers, heading numbers, figure and table numbers could be useful.
Proposed solution
- Support for syntax to write blocks as
definition,theorem&proof(similar totheoremareproposition,corollary,lemmaetc) which can be easily extracted by regex to convert to latex. - Captioning for
figures,tables -
labelandreferencingfordefinition,theorem,proposition,figures,tableswithin obsidian. Syntax for defining labels and references that is different from current linking [[]] so that it can be recognised by regex and can be converted to appropriate latex syntax.
Current workaround (optional)
Currently I manually copy markdown to latex and do the modifications line by line. It does take fair amount of time.
