Introduction

This is a simple plugin that can change the $\LaTeX$ style indicator \( \) and \[ \] to markdown style $ $ and $$ $$.

It can make the math equations generated by AI display correctly in Obsidian.

Installation

Download the latest Release from the release page unzip the file under ~/.obsidian/plugins/

Usage

Way 1

Open the file that needs to be modified, and press Ctrl+P to open the command panel.

Type Math Indicator Changer and press Enter to execute the command. Then all the patterns of \( \) and \[ \] will be changed to $ $ and $$ $$.

If you only want to change part of the file, you can select the section that want to change first, then use the command.

A more convenient way is that you can set a Hotkey for this command, you can search for Change math indicator in the Hotkeys page.

Way 2

Click the Dollar icon on the toolbar, it will change the file currently you are focusing on.

Warnings

Since the plugin is based on regular expressions, it may cause some unexpected results. It will change all \(, \), \[, \] to $, $, $$, $$ in the file.

TODOs

1. 现在使用全局替换后光标会自动移动到文章最上方, 需要修改代码使得光标不会自动移动 2. 使用按钮进行替换,如果用户没有手动对文件进行保存,文件会发生丢失,可能需要插件自动保存一下

All Fixed!
