\textbf{The longer answer}.   Authorea understands and renders markup languages such as Markdown, and LaTeX. But it does not rely on a compiler which takes TeX and spits out PDF. All the content created on Authorea is web-native. As we create more and more content on the web, we think that scholarly articles, too, should live on the web.  That said, we do enjoy and use LaTeX frequently at Authorea. This post for example, was written in LaTeX! Want to see? Let's grab a pre-baked equation, for example this Fourier transform: \verb|a transform and render it below (We use some amazing tools like \href{http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/}{Pandoc} and \href{http://www.mathjax.org/}{MathJax} to convert between formats and render equations)     \begin{verbatim}   a  \Leftrightarrow 2\pi a\sum\limits_{k = - \infty }^\infty {\delta (\omega + 2\pi k)} ,( - \infty < n < \infty )| and render it as: )   \end{verbatim}  \begin{equation}  a \Leftrightarrow 2\pi a\sum\limits_{k = - \infty }^\infty {\delta (\omega + 2\pi k)} ,( - \infty < n < \infty )  \end{equation}  (We use some amazing tools like \href{http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/}{Pandoc} and \href{http://www.mathjax.org/}{MathJax} to convert between formats and render equations) We decided to support LaTeX from the very beginning, as it is the document preparation toolkit of choice for a large portion of many (most?)  researchers in the hard sciences. The TeX project started in 1978 and we We  think it LaTeX  is still the best programming language to tell a computer how to place text on a page.

This table command instructs TeX to put the table in the page, here, where the table is declared (\verb|h|) AND at the top of the page (\verb|t|).

We like to think that a few years from now we will format our research papers with the web version in mind, rather than the printed PDF. And \href{http://figshare.com/blog/Beyond_The_PDF_2_-_Resources_and_Highlights/76}{we are not alone}! LaTeX will very likely be used many years from now, but, we think, in a much more stripped-down, web-friendly incarnation, like the subset that Authorea currently supports.
