Pandoc allows Markdown with fallback LaTeX which works incredibly well, imho. I suppose that is if you like both Markdown and LaTeX (along with the rest of its ecosystem).

While we're on the topic of MD, what's the best system for Markdown-based static blogs these days? With good code highlighting, images, colors, etc.

I've been using Astro lately and loving it. It feels dead simple, has amazing defaults, and is easily extendable.

I’ve been running quarto [0] for a few months now and I’m happy with it. Posts are saved as .qmd, with a little bit of special front matter for formatting and tagging. `quarto render` converts the .qmd(s) according to a simple config file. [0] https://quarto.org/

+1 for quarto. I love it for my personal website, and I use it on a daily basis to create technical reports for my day job.

VitePress and Docusaurus seem decent. I think VitePress might be more suited to blogging, but I admit I haven’t actually used or tested either.
