mathdown is a markdown parser of mathematics notes, based on pyparsing.
I have made many notes on various theories in mathematics using Markdown. I need a unified format to record them for future reference. Alternatively, they can be compiled into LaTeX to generate PDFs.
Following is the syntax of so-called math notes.
paragraphs are areas of texts, seperated by \n\n
This is a paragraph;
This is the second line of the paragraph.
This is another paragraph
The solution to the equation $f(x)=0$ is
$$
x=a+1
$$
where $a$ is ...
I hope that mathdown can help you to learn math!
A block is a paragraph with a keyword.
**Definition**
(X, *) is a group, if ...
where ...
**Theorem**
If a, b is two points of a Hilbert space, then we have
$$
|<a,b>| \leq \|a\|\|b\|
$$
Specially, in Euclidean space, ....
*Proof* Let $b = a + \lambda t,\lambda\in\R$. where $a\perp t$ and $\|t\|=1$
...
Or
*Remark* Here X is a finite set.
*Example* the set of rational numbers Q is a group.
