Summary

Insert math delimiters in TeX, LaTeX and Org buffers

Commentary

This package provides the command `math-delimiters-insert' to
insert TeX/LaTeX math delimiters. This command is meant to be bound
to $ in buffers where the user wants to use it. The author, for
example, binds it in `LaTeX-mode-map' and in `org-mode-map'.

Note that the excellent `cdlatex' includes a `cdlatex-dollar'
command that it binds to $.  Users of both packages will probably
want to unbind $ in `cdlatex-mode-map'.

The delimiters used for inline math and display math by
`math-delimiters-insert' are customizable, defaulting to \(...\) and
\[...\] respectively.  A command `math-delimiters-toggle' is
provided to quickly toggle between $...$ and \(...\) for inline
math and between $$...$$ and \[...\] for display math.

By default, inline math is translated into display math with no
additional line breaks. This can be modified by setting
`math-delimiters-compressed-display-math' to `nil'. For example,
expression of the form \(...\) will then be translated to
\n\[\n...\n\]\n.

When translating inline math to display math, often it is desirable
to include punctuation into the display math and exclude it from of
the inline math environment. For that purpose, the variable
`math-delimiters-include-characters' is available; it takes a list of
characters to act upon.  For example, setting it to (list ?.) and
then toggling to display math on the expression "\(\eta\)." would
turn it into "\[\eta.\]" .

Finally, a command `math-delimiters-no-dollars' is provided to
replace all $...$ and $$...$$ delimiters with \(...\) and \[...\],
respectively.
