For my classes I normally use Markdown with Markdown Math extension for a Latex-like math mode. Usually does the trick except for miscellaneous diagrams. Still looking for a good solution for that, but for the time being I use some alternative like Dia or Lucidchart and embed it as an image.

Have you tried mermaid? I guess it really depends on the editor and viewer you are using.

I've used this mostly with vscode and rendering from gitlab/hub, https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bierner.....

Hi there, you can take look at another my extension: markdown-preview-enhanced :)

However, the Crossnote extension also supports LaTeX math (powered by KaTeX) and all kinds of diagrams: Mermaid, Vega, Vega-Lite, PlantUML, ECharts, etc... I basically moved lots of features from MPE to Crossnote :)
