Convert LaTeX to MarkDown with custom equation syntax

Convert LaTeX to MarkDown with custom equation syntax

Hello everyone, 

Very new to Pandac (just installed) and my first question here.

I want to use Pandoc to convert my Latex back to MarkDown so I can use some 
of the common linters such as Proselint. However Pandoc converts LateX math 
equations in a way not rendereable in my favorite 
<https://github.com/amperser/proselint> WYSIWYG editors like Typora 
<https://typora.io/> and Qilin <https://github.com/qilin-editor/qilin-app>. 
I want Pandoc to convert math equations in double dollar sign $$...$$ or 
\begin{equation} \lable{...} \end{equation} to 
   
    ```math
    …
    ```

which is renderable in Qilin with KaTeX or

    $$ {label}
    …
   $$

which is renderable in Typora. I would appreciate if you could help me with 
this.

P.S. Out of the box solutions are also appreciated. For example if there is 
a way to use linters directly on the LaTeX file or there are similar 
editors for other markup formats which give instant preview or are WYSIWYG. 

Best,
Foad

Re: Convert LaTeX to MarkDown with custom equation syntax

[John MacFarlane]

Your best bet is to use a lua filter that intercepts
Math inlines and replaces them with the raw markdown
you want.

This should be fairly simple. Something like this:

function Math(el)
  if FORMAT == 'markdown' then
      if el.mathtype == 'DisplayMath' then
        return pandoc.RawInline('markdown', '\n```math\n' .. el.text .. '\n```\n')
      end
  end
end

(I'm sorry, I don't know the details of these ad hoc
formats you're using, and you don't say anything about
how to deal with inline math, but this should give you
enough to go on to customize your own filter.)

Btw, texshop has a GUI with instant preview for LateX.
