We put LaTeX (and Asciimath and PlantUML) parsing into Asciidoc kinds and it works well.

Running the LaTeX parser over Markdown is a total shitshow, of course, but we all knew that. Use at your own risk. No, the other people don't do it any better. They just don't test as much and don't even notice that sections disappear or are garbled, or that prose text gets mathified.

TeXtstr seems to have no problems, maybe with the Tex Willer logo, it could be fun, https://www.texstr.org/

For simple stuff it works well, but I am sure I could break it trying some more complex stuff. For example I just implemented $ and $$ for marking latex content, avoiding \(\) and \[\] for simplicity. Also, most of the markdown+latex component that renders the text was single prompted and I think I may have used 3 more prompts or so to fix some edge cases. I can see why people are resistant to adding it to the NIP or implementing on their clients, but I really needed this feature and just vibe hacked it.

Why do you need it? Why don't you put it in code ''' '''?

I needed it to render the mathematical formulas, so I followed the same conventions as Obsidian that works fine for me.
