Question: "empty-line-around-math-blocks" adds spaces in callout without the ">" symbol

[LynetteCullens]

Is the "empty-line-around-math-blocks" setting supposed to break math blocks in callouts? I don't know if my setup is normal or if people usually put math in callouts. I'm only 1 month into Obsidian.

I have no idea why linting broke my callout. Well, I know it's becasuse I told it to add After Lint Render:

Hey @LynetteCullens . I think it should be adding lines with a > at the start for callouts. However it depends how mangled the line it tries to work on.

The example looks pretty complex as is. Is this reproducible with a simpler math equation?

I tried it in a sandbox vault, granted, I copied over all of my plugins because math is not native to callouts. A majority of my plugins are dependent on one another. I got the same results

@LynetteCullens , I took a look at the math syntax in question and it looks like the Linter does not support the syntax you are using. If you look at the ast explorer here, you may notice that the math block ends at the first instance of \\ since the blockquote is not continued onto the next line.

If you use the following for your math block it should fix the issue with the math block not getting properly recognized which I believe is causing your issue:

> \scriptsize\tag{16-4}\end{align}$$

I am not sure how other plugins or Obsidian will treat that blockquote/callout though.

[pjkaufman]

Hey @LynetteCullens , I believe that #1017 requests a feature that would fix this issue. But in summary, the problem is that the math format you are using is not the same one the parser that the Linter uses. This means that while it may work fine in Obsidian, the Linter does not identify it as a math block in a blockquote. Thus you see modifications that may break things for Obsidian.

Unless there are further questions or comments around this, I plan to close this issue on the 5th.

Oh yeah. Feel free to close it. Thank you.
