Add option for ampersand replacement #87

Closed varkor closed 2 years ago

varkor commented 3 years ago

It's quite common to get into situations where & has some special behaviour and interacts badly with TikZ, necessitating the use of ampersand replacement. It would be nice to allow quiver to export this option automatically. See https://github.com/varkor/quiver/issues/51.

If building an ampersand replacement option into quiver is too much, an easier alternative could be to just place a warning somewhere in the quiver UI that these & conflicts happen and can be resolved by (manual) use of ampersand replacement.

This could at least save some users a bit of googling. (Although this issue is documented in the tikzcd manual, it is hardly obvious to the user who tries putting their diagram in an align environment, only to have their document fail to compile...).

It will not be a difficult feature to implement. Unfortunately, I don't have time to work on quiver right now, as I am in the process of completing my PhD thesis. I will return to quiver once that is complete. I agree it is an awkward error to get at the moment.

This has been added in https://github.com/varkor/quiver/commit/b1e2e1b9ea491f057d766cc01cd369f71d551e43, which will be available in the next version of quiver.
