I have some exprence in taking notes of math in the `Editor`: [StackEdit](https://stackedit.io/), while the discouse editor (what’s her name?) is my first forum editor that support markdown and mathjax at the same time with perfect preview, it seems that there are still have some space to make it more perfect, compare with _StackEdit_:

1. a _table of content_ guide of a rather length topic: in stackedit, we can just put a shortcode called `[toc]` to make a table of content with links
2. the _particial render_ of mathjax is also quire important: in stackedit, it can render a part of the doc which make the writter take the real advantage of WYSIWYG.
3. _auto-complete_: for example, when we write a list, press enter will auto add an item…
4. (this maybe a bug) It seems that the mathjax is not able to render _equation_ with _labels_, for example:  
\begin{equation}  
\label{eq:1}  
\text{math is amazing}  
\end{equation}  
then a _second_ render will broken the equation in preview, I think this can be solved by remove the label in equation and configure mathjax with autonumber: AMS, then the `\eqref`  
command is redefined to be link to the equation directly.
5. _save_ my post in google doc: Some important thing sholud be save some where we can find it easily…
6. support markdown extensions: I like to use _table_ and _footnote_(as my bibliography) in the post

This is just a short list of things which I think will make discourse more perfect, add more if you got an idea…
