I know that Markdown does have an embedded LaTeX mode, but what if you need to use LaTeX packages like to number equations, do aligned equations, or cook up a macro to keep track of notation?
Also I’m pretty sure in my department we gotta submit a .tex file, but I’m in STEM so I’m a bit biased.
When generating PDFs via pandoc, Markdown can contain any LaTeX directive, including packages in the preamble and any environments in the document. Pandoc converts the .md file into a .tex file based on the template you chose, and it allows both saving the .tex file and writing your own templates.
for writing, it’s great. And the once you’re ready for submission/publishing md converts into new formats super smoothly
