How to make it work with Latex workshop ?

[medwatt]

Hello,

I've been playing with this extension and seems to work as described. I created a tex.hsnips file but it doesn't seem to be detected inside a tex document. The all.hsnips gets detected fine. I am using Latex workshop to parse the tex documents. How can I get this extension to work if I don't want to put all the code inside the all.snippets?

Hi there, I believe the default language mode for .tex files is latex, so could you try creating a latex.hsnips file and checking if it works?

Thanks for your swift reply. That worked. I have one more question if you don't mind. I'm trying to set up vscode to type my documents. I came across this guy who uses ultsnips. That's how I came across your extension.

Is it possible to do something like the code shown below:

snippet '^.*\)/' "() Fraction" wrA
`!p
stripped = match.string[:-1]
depth = 0
i = len(stripped) - 1
while True:
	if stripped[i] == ')': depth += 1
	if stripped[i] == '(': depth -= 1
	if depth == 0: break;
	i -= 1
snip.rv = stripped[0:i] + "\\frac{" + stripped[i+1:-1] + "}"
`{$1}$0

Sure, I believe the equivalent code would be this:

snippet `^.*\)/` "() Fraction" A
``
let stripped = m[0].substring(0, m[0].length - 1);
let depth = 0;
let i = stripped.length - 1;
while (i >= 0) {
	if (stripped[i] == ')') depth += 1;
	if (stripped[i] == '(') depth -= 1
	if (depth == 0) break;
    i -= 1
}
rv = `${stripped.substring(0, i)}\\frac{${stripped.substring(i + 1, stripped.length - 1)}}`;
``{$1}$0

snippet ^.*\)/ "() Fraction" A
let stripped = m[0].substring(0, m[0].length - 1); let depth = 0; let i = stripped.length - 1; while (i >= 0) { if (stripped[i] == ')') depth += 1; if (stripped[i] == '(') depth -= 1 if (depth == 0) break; i -= 1 } rv = `${stripped.substring(0, i)}\\frac{${stripped.substring(i + 1, stripped.length - 1)}}`;{$1}$0

Thanks !!
