Support for recognising latex

Open Zabooby opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Are there any plans to add latex recognition to the plugin? It would basically be adding mathpix to obsidian which would be super useful to users that work with maths formulas regularly (there's a lot of us)!

There are a bunch of projects on GitHub that do this, would be possible to add this functionality to your plugin?

Currently, there is no plan to implements this feature since at the moment I'm doing a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff (How transcripts are stores, ...), That however doesn't mean that it won't be added in the future. Therefore, (or if another contributor might want to add it), I'm keeping this issue open.

No rush, I'm just glad that your willing to add it in the future!

Could you please elaborate a bit more on what you mean by LaTeX recognition? I assume you have a PDF / image file and would like to convert the text to LaTeX code? But what happens then?

So I'd have an image with some math equations in it, I'd input it into obsidian-ocr which would process the image/PDF and output it in LaTeX, which I can then copy into Obsidian for my notes.

image The render would be displayed in my notes.
