Usage

Commands

This plugin currently provides 3 commands, which do not have default bindings. Both commands only work when the cursor is inside a math block. Both commands will also query for the name of the environment.

Insert Environment

Insert a new LaTeX environment at the cursor.

With a selection inserts a new LaTeX environment around the selection. 0.

Change Environment

Change the name of the surrounding LaTeX environment.

If the cursor is on a \begin or \end, it is the corresponding environment that will be changed.

Delete Environment

Remove the innermost LaTeX environment enclosing the cursor.

Version 0.3.0 Rewrite

In order to support the Live Preview feature of obsidian the internals of this plugin needed to be rewritten. The aim is to leave functionality unaffected but there may be some differences from previous versions. Please file a bug report if you discover something that worked with 0.2.0 but not 0.3.0
