Adding LaTex equations for markdown
🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch
I love the simplicity of markdown, but, as an engineer, I need to be able to have equations written down for my personal class / project notes.
I know it's bit of a challenge to do in vim, but it would absolutely complete the plugin for me.

If you want to write fast: you can use snippets (ultisnip, luasnip) to quickly write latex. Most of snippets will only expand inside the $$ sign. You'll need a way to recognise that (I use vimtex.- a plugin for writing latex, and there are other options using tree sitter).
If you want latex in more readable format - again, I know that vimtex allows you to conceal lots of commands in latex.
I don't know if any markdown based plugin natively supports recognising math zones (so that snippets can be written) and concealing.
It'd certainly be a welcome feature, even for general markdown community. But until then, alternatives exist as I described.
