Transfer LaTeX from GPT Fix

English | 简体中文 | 繁体中文 | 日本語 | 한국어

1. Introduction

This project is a fix for this project, patching the bugs that prevented it from working. Since the original author has not maintained it for a long time, I am releasing this plugin first. If the original author resumes maintenance, I will stop maintaining this one. The goal of this project is to convert LaTeX formulas from ChatGPT's responses into Markdown formats that Obsidian can recognize and render correctly. This tool helps users easily use mathematical formulas in Obsidian notes, improving learning efficiency and research quality.

2. Installation

1. Install the Transfer Latex from GPT plugin directly through the Community Plugins market.
2. Or download the plugin package from the GitHub repository and install it manually.

3. Usage Instructions

Note: Before using, please ensure the "Auto Convert HTML" option is turned off in Obsidian editor settings. Otherwise, when pasting ChatGPT's answers, use plain text format.

How to Use

1. Via Command
   

2. Via Left Ribbon Button
   

Supported GPT copy formats

Both \(...\) / \[...\] and the newer double-escaped \\(...\\) / \\[...\\] are supported. Inline formulas stay inline; generated display formulas use $$ on separate lines so later headings remain visible in the outline.

For the newer double-escaped format, the plugin also removes Markdown escaping inside formulas: for example, \\(g\_{\mu\nu},\\,\phi^\*\\) becomes $g_{\mu\nu},\,\phi^*$. Matrix row breaks and literal underscores in \text{...} or \operatorname{...} are preserved. Existing dollar-delimited math, code, and links are preserved.
