Hi! Wikitext offers great formatting options, but in specific use cases there can be a legitimate need for some more granularity in controling features like line breaks, indents and line spacing.
Yesterday I happened to read about the Katex plugin for TW in the documentation of Tiddlyshow. As I have no previous experience with Latex (and a search for ["Katex" "plain text"] in this Google Group didn't yield the kind of results I expected) I'm now asking this question here in the hope that it makes sense: Besides of mathematical and chemical typesetting: Is it also possible to have some Latex plain text typesetting in Tiddlywiki using the Katex plugin? Background: Much of the formatting we apply to plain text in Foreign Language teaching materials (slides, handouts and the like) can be considered "semantic formatting". Wikitext can not offer all of the text formatting features we need -maybe in part this is due to limitations imposed by the browsers. Before the pandemic, I used to create most of my classroom slides and PDF printouts in LibreOffice. But this year I finally decided to carry out a transition towards the goal of integrating all my teaching-related tasks in Tiddlywiki only. I have been using Wikitext tables as a way to hack some of the current limitations on indents and line breaks, but this method of editing feels rather strenuous and suboptimal. If Latex plain text compatibility in Tiddlywiki is possible, I would definitely want to go down the rabbithole of making out a workflow. This might involve doing the writing in a dedicated Latex editor, and then exporting/pasting the text into tiddlers.
