AsciiMath is easier to type than LaTeX. http://asciimath.org/

Are you asking to write AsciiMath in content areas such as the question statement or part prompts?

This would be possible, but we'd have to choose a set of delimiters for AsciiMath. I don't know what would be safe to use with the thousands of existing questions.

To implement this, I think we'd just need to come up with an AsciiMath equivalent of the \var and \simplify LaTeX commands.

On the website, it says to use `. There is an implementation for Markdown preview on VSCode/VSCodium:

AsciiDoc has a different approach:

I don't think it would be safe to use `. That could easily conflict with something else. I'm not sure AsciiDoc's stem:[...] syntax would work unambiguously, either.
