    Great idea! During my time as a researcher, I heavily used org-babel. I used it to put code for data wrangling, plots, and notes into a single document. The notes would often contain formulas to describe what was done. I would regularly export that to PDF using pdflatex to send it to collaborators. Maybe this is an avenue worth considering for Ledge.

      Similar things in this area:

      Marimo - recently had a lot of success with this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marimo.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marimo.io&#x2F;

      RMarkdown: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rmarkdown.rstudio.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rmarkdown.rstudio.com&#x2F;

      Quarto: (this is more the editor really I guess) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;quarto.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;quarto.org&#x2F;

        Marimo is amazing and &quot;just python&quot;, no tangle&#x2F;detangle necessary.

      Thanks! I&#x27;m looking for ways to extend Ledge further. Math &#x2F; Science capabilities could be cool (although I&#x27;ll probably need a contributor that knows those needs to help out)
