I happen to be giving a presentation about Markdown tomorrow, and I'm trying to solve this issue:
OK, fellow #Markdown nerds, I have a stumper: I want to get the stylized word LaTeX in my beamer slides but also have the PowerPoint slides fall back to "LaTeX". If I use "\LaTeX", it looks great in the PDF, but doesn't appear at all in PowerPoint. Can I specify a fallback?

If not, workaround is to run a hidden MX receiver setup where someone else is the advertised MX receiver and then they relay to you on another port.
I could do it for you. Or, better yet, grab yourself a cheap server somewhere and do it yourself. One of OVH's low-end Kimsufi branded line should work great unless you have crazy high volume.
Soylent Green. Is it a favorite? Maybe not. But it's gritty and it's a classic every sci-fi fan should see.
