General note to everyone: I recommend composing posts in something that converts easily to clean HTML. I always write my posts in markdown, then convert to HTML with the Markdown Dingus, then paste it into the HTML editor in the LW post editor.
By the way, why posts aren’t written like comments, in Markdown format? Could we consider adding markdown formatting as an option?
Do you have a solution for LaTeX?
I also use markdown, but have been doing ascii math because there’s no obvious and easy way to handle LaTeX.
I have a mathy post or two coming up that would enjoy trivial LaTeX.
Some of http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Comment_formatting#Using_LaTeX_to_render_mathematics is relevant.
Draft.in is another great option for this.
I’ve found Draft.in to be annoying. I may try it again in 6 months to see if they’ve improved it in the ways I care about.
