I created a browser extension that fixes that:

Asciimath-formatted math can be evaluated just fine in most calculators or languages, after all mimicking the patterns used in other math systems is one of its design goals.

It's true that caou's installation is cumbersome but the idea is that most users will use caoutchouc through sharecaou, which is just a web interface (it's a fork of sharelatex/overleaf).

Pandoc's documentation itself says that the conversion is lossy.

I'll echo other comments and say that using pandoc to convert from markdown to latex is the best solution I've found. Actually I've written myself a wrapper over it that extends markdown with asciimath (which lets you input math the way you would in a calculator) and improves support for embedding latex directly.

Yeah, I may have made the title worse by trying to shorten it. If a mod can change it back it'd be great.

Currently majoring in three degrees (CS, Maths and Telecommunications). I've also contributed to a few open source projects, including metamask and the solidity compiler. Looking for a summer internship.

A few months ago I built a Chrome extension that replaces the new tab page with an anki window, in an attempt to improve my browsing habits and it seems people overall are finding it useful so far,
