change dollars to displaymath or equation*

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I just found in my add-ons lisp file the following functions.

(defun my-change-dollar-to-displaymath ()
  (interactive)
  (replace-regexp "\\$\\$\\(\\(.\\|\n\\)*?\\)\\$\\$"
                  "\\\\begin{displaymath}\\1\\\\end{displaymath}"))


(defun my-change-dollar-to-equationstar ()
  (interactive)
  (replace-regexp "\\$\\$\\(\\(.\\|\n\\)*?\\)\\$\\$"
                  "\\\\begin{equation*}\\1\\\\end{equation*}"))


Since I really don't master regexp, I presume somebody sent me this
(Arash would be a natural candidate 😉)

Since $$ are not really recommended in latex documents, but still widely
used by users, shouldn't these functions, or some generalisation be
included in auctex?
