Does Sage have a plain math expression editor, without any calculation performed?

Is there a way to edit an expression in a pretty, classical, math style without declaring variables and without evaluating?

In Mathematica we can write whatever we want using some keystroke shortcuts and it looks just as if it were hand-written. We can keep these notes in a file and re-use them (visualize, modify...) later on. The powerful feature is that we can copy and paste any part of such notes into a notebook and get it evaluated in the most straightforward way.

Can we do this in Sage?

In a Jupyter notebook worksheet running the Sage kernel, just like in a Sage notebook worksheet, you can use markdown cells in addition to compute cells.

In markdown cells, you can freely type text, with latex formulas using $...$ , italics using *...* and bold using **...**.

The Jupyter notebook worksheets can be saved as .ipynb files.

The Sage notebook worksheets can be saved as .sws files.

Note that on SageMathCloud at https://cloud.sagemath.com/ you can also use SageMathCloud Sage worksheets, and those also have an option to have markdown blocks by using %md at the beginning of a code block.

SageMathCloud Sage worksheets can be saved as .sagews files.
