Hi there. Any chance that Madoko could support AsciiMath? AsciiMath is an equation-writing language that's about 5 million times easier to use than LaTeX. Here's their website: http://asciimath.org/. If you search around you'll find parsers already written for it that render it or convert it to LaTeX in various programming languages (although I don't know about Koka...) so it probably wouldn't be horrendously difficult to incorporate.

It's just so much better than writing equations in LaTeX like 90% of the time. Much simpler, more intuitive, way fewer nonsense commands to remember. It's very much in the spirit of Markdown.

Hope you'll take a look, thanks!
