This[1] is what I use. So far haven't needed anything that's not supported by Katex. and Pandoc doesn't seem to have any problem with converting my stuff to Latex.
The only real problems I ever ran into were due to markdown (errors?) that vscode preview ignores but pandoc trips over. Mostly having to do with not leaving blank lines between different Markdown elements.
Not sure why is this posted here, pretty much useless without the book

Hmm, I guess most people. Just like TAOC, everybody talk about it and even those who buy it let it rot on a shelve.
I remember in university one of the professor coming to me during my master asking how did I achieved this fancy stuff in my report. Dude I just red the book, lol. I didn't manage to validate my M2 though, double lol. :D

Well, it's a reference book, not a tutorial. You "let it rot on a shelve" until that moment when you need to achieve a specific outcome in your LaTeX code and then check out the book.

I still need to see if I can manage to make the three strophe I wrote be as rectangle shaped as possible, be it with automatic line break on a vers (not sure the term in English) to the next row right aligned and preceded with a [

I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for, but placing "\parfillskip=0pt" at the start of the paragraph will make the last line end on the right margin, which I think is what you mean by "rectangle shaped".
