What kind of support do you have in mind? Converting a whole document, a couple of slides, or embedding latex code within a single slide?

technical detail: markdeck uses pandoc[0] as converter; and, yes, there is a LaTeX-Importer available, too (besides the Markdown-Importer used now by markdeck). So, on a per-file basis, it should be quite easy to support other input formats than markdown (restructerdText might be another candidate).

Embedding LaTeX in markdown might be a little bit more trickier, because we already use html-tags where markdown is not expressive enough... sigh

For my personal use case, embedding latex in a slide would be the best: I'd like to include equations alongside text and images, but I prefer writing markdown to latex where possible.

markdeck supports mathjax[0], might that be enough for your use case? An example can be found in the showcase[1]...

It might, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
