Hi Chip (and vim_dev),
I really like the idea of using conceal in the tex syntax file but it
still needs some work (I'm basing my comments on the version of
tex.vim that was included in the Sun 1 Aug changeset).
Try the following:
$\eps_b \geq \rho^{-\sigma b}$
- Super/subscripts look weird. The \sigma is typeset as superscript
"s i g m a" (each letter is a superscript). As it stands I'd rather
have no super/subscripts at all than this weird behavior. (In fact, I
dislike the super/subscripts anyway because they become so tiny that
they are hard to read unless you set your 'gfn' size to something
enormous.)
- Super/subscripts work inconsistently. Note that the "_b" after
"\eps" is not turned into a subscript. As far as I understand some
letters are not available as subscripts? Again, I'd rather have no
subscripts at all than to have some letters turn into subscripts but
not others.
- $, { and } are turned into "-". Why?
- I can think of a few more things to conceal (off the top of my
head): \infty, \in, \subset (and variants), \cup, \cap, \wedge, \vee,
the list goes forever on (it may be helpful to take a look at "short-
math-guide.pdf" by Michael Downes)
Anyway, I am grateful for the work you've put into this but there is
definitely room for improvement (my apologies for not simply sending
you a patch but I really should get back to writing that
article... ;-).
Björn
