[kramdown-users] Feature Request: LaTeX Support in kramdown

[Alex Wall]

Hi,

I know kramdown has support for latex math block, but when i use pure latex kramdown converts this 

\begin{figure}
   \includeicon{./Blume.pdf}
   \centering
   \caption{Konstruktionszeichnung der}
   \label{img:Bubble}
\end{figure}

to 

\textbackslash{}begin\{figure\}
   \textbackslash{}includeicon\{./Blume.pdf\}
   \textbackslash{}centering
   \textbackslash{}caption\{Konstruktionszeichnung der\}
   \textbackslash{}label\{img:Bubble\}
\textbackslash{}end\{figure\}

It would be nice if kramdown could handle markdown files more like pandoc. In pandoc it is possible to mix markdown and LaTeX as you like without any escape characters/sequences. 

This gives you the simplicity of markdown and the power of LaTeX when you really need it. 

Best Regards,
