Re: change dollars to displaymath or equation*

[Tohiko Looka]

If you use smart-paren, you can add the following so that \( \)
is added every time you press $ (not following a backslash).

(sp-with-modes '(latex-mode)
      (sp-local-pair "$" nil :actions :rem)
      (sp-local-pair "\\(" "\\)"
                     :unless '(sp-point-before-same-p
sp-latex-point-after-backslash)
                     :trigger-wrap "$"
                     :trigger "$"
                     :actions '(wrap insert autoskip navigate)))
