Add option to determine display mode based on the current line

[chronos1970]

As of now, changing the display mode is only possible with a mouse click (which takes a lot of time). It would be really nice if the extension can intelligently determine the display mode based on whether the math expression exists on an empty line or not.

• Display Mode $$x^2$$
• Inline Mode $x^2$

That's a good idea! However, there are some cases where it's not easy to determine whether to use inline or display mode. When a math is added at the start of the line, the user can mean

$|x|$ is the absolute value of $x$

or

$$ I just want display math in a separate block $$

But in this case, I think inserting preferred format is sufficient.

I'll try the intelligence you suggested.

I think in the context of Logseq (an outliner, where everything is a bullet list) new lines by default begin with a - (inline context) and new lines without a - (block context) should contain things related to the block like images, math blocks, tables, etc.. However, your point still stands. Perhaps adding a keyboard shortcut for toggling display modes in addition to this feature would cover all use cases.

Thanks for this amazing plugin and for your time on this feature.

https://github.com/AllanChain/logseq-live-math/releases/tag/v1.2.0 is released with smartFormat option and a Ctrl + $ shortcut to switch between display and inline mode.
