texdown v2.0.3
TeXdowN
TeXdowN is a lightweight alternative to LaTeX for writing short texts with math equations. While TeXdowN is heavily influenced by Markdown it is NOT Markdown + MathJax. TeXDown is a work in progress.
Why?
- Markdown does not support math formula by itself.
- Markdown is hard to parse.
- Markdown is not well defined and even this 116 pages long (!!!) Spec does not solve all the quirks of Markdown.
- Markdown does not support underlined text.
The Language
| TeXdowN | Html |

| # h1 | h1 |
| ## h2 | h2 |
| ### h3 | h3 |
| #### h4 | h4 |
| ##### h5 | h5 |
| ###### h6 | h6 |
