great package you wrote, I found it yesterday and have been
looking for something similiar for a long time already! :)
One of the first things I ran into was making cards containing
pseudocode. After a bit of searching I found the alltt
environment, which allows for code blocks which include math
symbols (To make alltt work in anki you can put the
\usepackage{alltt} into the cards latex header by going to
Tools/Manage Note Types/Options).
So at first everything worked great, however I sometimes got
errors, in my code blocks..
When you write something like:
\begin{alltt}
for i in \(\mathcal{M\sb{\epsilon}}\):
do something
\end{alltt}
everything just works fine. When I however have lines ending with
\) or \], I get latex errors in anki. The following for example does not
work:
\begin{alltt}
for i in \(\mathcal{M\sb{\epsilon}}\)
do something
\end{alltt}
In anki [/$] is created at the end of the line, but since there
is no opening [$], anki can't compile the generated latex code.
Also this happens inside the [latex] ... [/latex] region, where
it shouldn't replace \) with the anki specific notation, from what I
understand, since the whole region will be compiled as a whole
anyway.
I haven't looked at the code, but I guess at some point it
seems to replace \) and \] always, when they are at the end of a
line.
Oh also for anyone else who runs into this problem: if you insert a
whitespace behind the \), the line does not end with \) anymore and
everything will work fine in anki.
