I don't always use LaTeX, but when I do, I compile to HTML (2013)

Sphinx/reStructuredText supports math in LaTeX input format [1], so you can still go nuts with complex math expressions while still benefitting from the relative simplicity.

Looks like AsciiDoc supports similar latex math blocks [2]. Are there reasons you can't stick with that when doing math?

For example: writing complicated expression invovling calculus/matrix. That's not something I need everyday, though.

I have documented at least 10 x 10 matrices with rst math directives and found it to be pretty convenient. I don't understand what the benefit of pure latex is in this context.

pandas.DataFrame().to_latex() [1] and tabulate [2] support latex table output.

Sphinx supports ReStructuredText and Markdown.

MyST-Markdown supports MathJaX and Sphinx roles and directives. https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

jupyter-book supports ReStructuredText, Jupyter Notebooks, and MyST-Markdown documents:

You can build Sphinx and Jupyter-Book projects with the ReadTheDocs container, which already has LaTeX installed: https://github.com/executablebooks/jupyter-book/issues/991

myst-templates/plain_latex_book: https://github.com/myst-templates/plain_latex_book/blob/main...

GitHub supports AsciiDoc in repos and maybe also wikis?

Is there a way to execute code in code blocks in AsciiDoc, and include the output?

latex2sympy requires ANTLR.
