Steps to reproduce
-
type latex string:
$$\def\text{test text}$$ -
the native \text{} command now becomes a macro that inserts the string testtext
Expected result
Latex shouldn’t overwrite native commands, but something with Obsidian’s implementation might be allowing \def to overwrite \text{}
Actual result
\text{} native command is completely overwritten by the \def macro definition in the brackets.
