Link latex equation to code

In the live editor, is there a possibility to link a latex equation to the code?

Here is an example of what I'm trying to acheive:

Reference chord length:

c = 0.525;

What I would like is that if I change the code to:

c = 0.5;

The latex equation changes automatically, or the other way around, if I change the latex equation it changes the code.

If it is not possible it would be an amazing feature.

Use livescript

Yes, as I said "In the live editor, ..."

Can you be a bit more specific. How do you do so that the Latex equation changes automatically when the code is changed, or vice versa?

[madhan ravi]

I’m pretty sure you added that information after I answered. By the way by default livescript outputs the result in latex form not the code itself. But there’s an option to export the code and result into a latex file.

I know about the possibility to export the file as latex. But this is not what I would like to do.

I'm using latex equation as comment for my scripts because they are easy to read (or so I find). But each time I change my code I also have to think about changing the latex equation, which I almost always forget and leads to discrepancies between code and comments. This is rather boring and I would like that my latex equations comment change automatically when I change the script.

It can only be done manually.

That is what I feared.
