title: Math in reStructuredText with LaTeX
body: <p>I would like to use a lightweight markup language to take notes in my college classes. </p>
  
  <p>My editor of choice is gedit, and I found <a href="https://github.com/bittner/gedit-reST-plugin" rel="noreferrer">reStructuredText Tools for Gedit</a>, which will run the reStructuredText processor and render the HTML in a pane in gedit. This is great, and 80% of the way there.</p>
  
  <p>But for many of my classes I need to include math equations or greek characters in my notes. Although I'm not very familiar with LaTeX, my understanding is that it has these capabilities. </p>
  
  <p>How can I use LaTeX in a reST document? Would the reST document need to be processed into LaTeX, then that rendered into HTML, or is there a better way? Would markdown make this easier? I can modify the gedit plugin if necessary.</p>
  
  <p>Lastly, does anyone do this? Any other suggestions for taking class notes in a plain text editor?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
