I use itex2MML with reStructuredText. So within Leo you're looking at
LaTeX math markup, and you get outputs in PDF and XHTML, with MathML in
the latter.

I've been doing this for about a year now.  I use the math docutils directive.  A custom .XCompose file (for example: https://github.com/kragen/xcompose)  also helps.

Hi,

Is not properly Leo, but is python related, tailored for math and with a
web interface and has leo bindings, check Ipython:

http://ipython.org/

I'm using it for all my math related writing and I think that point the
future of interactive writing in Python. I dream of a body pane on leo
with the features of the pyton qt console.

Cheers,

I think math was added to docutils after I started using itex2mml,
neater to use docutils built in math now I think.

Although having said that, playing with docutils math a bit suggests
itex2mml gives more complete support for both MathMML and perhaps LaTeX
math (with the PDF target).

Terry-

Your setup is probably more flexible, but I haven't had any problems with docutils math. It seems to support all the syntax that I've found necessary.

Thanks to all for this discussion. If somebody here could summarize
it I'll make it part of the FAQ. I'm not the one to do the summary,
because I don't use the features you have been discussing.

I forgot to mention that the viewrendered plug-in doesn't display math correctly.  I'm not sure what the problem is, I remember trying to figure it out a while back, but I never got anywhere.  It's not really a big problem though, I have scripts to compile nodes to html/pdfs and open them in firefox/pdf reader; math works fine that way.
