<div>With Authorea LaTeX is one of many  formats you can write in. Others include Markdown and HTML (rich text like Word!). Authorea offers a format-neutral web-native platform. Regardless of the format you render content on the web - not a separate pane that compiles a PDF (side note you can still export a PDF... see below!). The advantage: you can  collaborate with authors who don't know (and will never learn) LaTeX. Authorea's rich text editor  is a true WYSIWYG editor (What you see is what you get). It also has the ability to include   as much LaTeX and mathematical notation as you need.&nbsp;Every document written in Authorea becomes a beautiful webpage.</div>
