Hello everyone, I am sorry for all the problems that have arisen. I wanted to contribute to the discussion somewhat.
1) Personally I often have double subscripts i.e. expressions of the form
$
\int_{a_i}^{a_{i+1}}
$
(I am a PhD in math)
2) LaTeX (or at least AMS) forbids expressions of the type $a_b_c$ and
$a^b^c$.
ERROR: Double subscript.
--- TeX said ---
l.106 $a_b_
c$
--- HELP ---
There are two subscripts in a row in a mathematical
formula---something like x_{2}_{3}, which makes no sense.
The only acceptable syntax is:
$a_{b_c}$
An idea would be to never make a _ disappear if it is already
super/sub-script fontified. Also disable fontification of
sub/superscripts on any line such that there are two _ not separated by
a { and the same for ^
I am trying to implement something like it but I am no expert in elisp
so it'll take me some time.
Cheers,
Gennady
