Hi Matthias,
I have recently been wondering myself about this. What I wanted to do is
insert the closing \end{environment} tags in the markdown cell, and
insert e.g., \frac{}{} and move the cursor back to the first curly
bracket, if the user types \fra, but syntax highlighting would also be
useful. Could you point me to some sort of documentation as to how one
starts out writing a plugin for this? I would be willing to work on this.
Cheers,
Zoltán

However, is there a way to get latex-style highlighting in my cells rather than markdown (or some combination of both)? As soon as you put an underscore in the cell, everything until the next underscore is rendered as oblique, which is not very easy to read.
