Show HN: SugarTeX – readable LaTeX language extension and transcompiler to LaTeX

As far as I can deduce, you're trying to incorporate LateX into .md using the Markdown Philosophy of "you should write something that's readable as plain text, without compilation, also". Is that basically right? If so it should probably be right at the top, because it's hard to tell right now.

The idea makes sense, though I'm not sure if it's... better. Do you expect people to input " ⃗E" and "⨌" as text? Or ... what? Do you type the TeX and then have Atom autocomplete it into the Unicode symbols?

You are completely right. But I thought

``Both Python and Markdown are very readable languages. Unfortunately LaTeX is not like this. So I wrote SugaTeX extension+transpiler that is highly readable.``

means the same...

As about input. My bad: I forget to tell about SugarTeX completions package for Atom. There to write `` ⃗E`` you type ``\^->``(+E) this autocompletes to `` ⃗E``.
