Custom math delimiters

[emptierset]

Is it possible to define your own math delimiters? I'm currently writing for a site that requires all LaTeX (both inline and multiline) to be delimited by double dollar signs, but I can't figure out how (or if it's even possible) to do so.

Yes, you can simply extend the texmath.rules object in texmath.js.

Might be something like ...

texmath.rules.custom = {
      inline: [
           { /* 1st inline rule */ },
           { /* 2nd optional inline rule */ }
      ],
      block: [
           { /* 1st block rule */ },
           { /* 2nd optional block rule */ }
      ]
}

See texmath.js for details and examples.

Nice, thanks. I simply copypasted the "dollars" object, changed its name, and changed the following in "math_inline" and "math_single":

• add {2} after each $ in rex
• change tag from "$" to "$$"

Seems to work.
