### What we like

Use Markdown to write typeset reports, docs, static websites, slides. Includes live preview with fast compilation so you can avoid LaTeX dependencies. Has enhancements like figures, formulae, code, bibliography. Include data from files and manipulate it with variables and scripting.

### Tradeoffs

Academic writing in LaTeX (or equivalent) is the dream, but most work really just happens in Word or Google Docs, especially if you’re collaborating with multiple authors!
