Macros do not work about mdmath HOT 13 CLOSED

Be sure to have ...

• version 2.7.4 installed
• closed and opened VSCode again after having changed settings.

For me

Vectors in $\RR^2$ have a shape of

$$\vek{x}{y}$$

gives

btw: KaTeX now supports \R natively, so macro \RR makes sense only for demonstration reasons.

Simply does not work for me, on two different computers too. Maybe it's an interaction with one of my installed extensions?

```math
\RR
```

$\RR$

settings.json section:

    "mdmath.delimiters": "gitlab",
    "mdmath.macros":{
        "\\RR":"\\mathbb{R}",
        "\\vek": "{\\begin{pmatrix}#1\\\\#2\\end{pmatrix}}",
        "\\test":"2+2"
    },

hmm ... please deactivate all markdown related extensions ... temporarily ...

from mdmath.

Interesting, it's one of the extensions. Working on figuring out which one right now.

```math
\RR
```

Not sure why $\RR$ isn't working, but, progress?

from mdmath.

It's the Markdown All In One extension.

Ugh I bet it's this, right in the Readme:

Please use Markdown+Math for dedicated math support. Be sure to disable math.enabled option of this extension.

from mdmath.

Fixed.
Code:

```math
\RR \\
\vek{x}{y} \\
\test \\
```

Settings:

  "markdown.extension.math.enabled": false, //<- This fixes the macro issue
  "mdmath.delimiters": "gitlab",
  "mdmath.macros":{
      "\\RR":"\\mathbb{R}",
      "\\vek": "{\\begin{pmatrix}#1\\\\#2\\end{pmatrix}}",
      "\\test":"2+2"
  },

Sorry for the trouble! Can close this, I think.

Thanks for successfully investigating this. Can you please do me a favor and raise an analog issue regarding macro collision there, while referencing your reproducable steps here ... thanks.

from mdmath.

I'd be happy to do that, but I'm not exactly clear on what you mean? Could you clarify more precisely what you'd like me to do?

from mdmath.

don't worry ... I did it by myself ... thanks again.

I have another problem, but I wanted to ask you about it before opening a whole issue. Is there any way to get latex macros to render with the markdown file uploaded to gitlab/github? I'm getting the error "There was an error rendering this math block," I assume because gitlab doesn't know how to interpret the macros without them being defined anywhere. Not sure how to resolve this, or if it's even possible?

from mdmath.

hmm ... macros are resolved in VSCode Markdown via mdmath via markdown-it-texmath via KaTeX. GitLab should have a completely different math engine. If that doesn't support macros, you are lost. GitHub doesn't have a math engine at all.

The only way I know is working, is to export HTML from mdmath to GitHub pages or something similar with GitLab.

That's what I figured. How do you get github to render html (I looked into it a bit online but I'm wondering what your approach is)?
