Convert LATEX to MARKDOWN

LaTeX, short for "Lamport TeX", is a typesetting system widely used for producing scientific and mathematical documents due to its powerful handling of formulas and bibliographies. LaTeX files contain plain text formatted with LaTeX markup language, which then gets processed to produce high-quality PDFs. Originating from Donald Knuth's TeX system in the late 1970s, LaTeX was further developed by Leslie Lamport in the 1980s to simplify document preparation. It remains essential in academia and research for creating complex documents with precision and clarity.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with a plain text formatting syntax, primarily used in Markdown documentation files with the MD extension. Created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz in 2004, it allows IT professionals to easily format text for web pages, readme files, and technical documentation. Markdown's simplicity and readability make it ideal for collaborative projects and version control systems. Its syntax is designed to be readable without compromising the document's formatting when rendered as HTML or other web formats.
