1. Render tex (text and math) in the app …

   This is a work in progress, little fun experiment, of rendering document written in tex in the web app.
   
   There's `notes/notex.tex` file with some complex equations. First I used `pandoc` to convert tex to markdown:
   
   ```bash
   sudo apt-get install pandoc
   pandoc -s notes/notes.tex -o web/src/content/en/Notes.md
   ```
   
   Then I replaced home page content with the generated `web/src/content/en/Notes.md`.
   
   I use `remark-math` and `rehype-katex`plugins for the `@next/mdx` renderer. I had to also add global CSS from `katex` so that formulas look a bit prettier.
   
   I had to remove `%` comment from the formula in the tex file, because it was confusing the parser it seems and it generated red unformatted text past the `%` sign .
   
   The document has hard line breaks at char 80, and this unfortunately translates into line breaks in the final render too, even though I'd expect it not to. This might be configurable (by i.e. using GitHub flavor of markdown rendering). Otherwise we could tell doc authors to remove the hard breaks and use soft-wrap in the editor instead.
   
   Otherwise it seems to be working very well. This feature might allow to:
    - have shared tex snippets, let's say between a paper and the website
    - add formulas to existing markdown content
