bLANS

bLANS (better LaTeX on ANS) is a simple website I made with Gatsby to help me and my fellow classmates with writing answers with LaTeX notation on the ANS.app grading platform.

ANS uses a somewhat weird flavour of markdown for typesetting LaTeX. The idea with bLANS is that you can write your answers in the more conventional pandoc-style markdown in your editor of choice, such as VS code, and then when you’re ready to put your answers into ANS, you can quickly convert them to the appropriate format with bLANS, which takes care of the weird LaTeX quirks necessary.

You can try bLANS out here and read more about it on GitHub.
