What problem does it solve?
It converts scattered mathematical materials into consistent Obsidian markdown, preserving block identity for reliable cross-file references.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-source math ingestion: Take LaTeX, web pages, PDFs, images/OCR, and existing markdown/text and normalize them into a unified Obsidian math-note format.
- Stable block mapping for citations: Maintain and update a cross-reference block map (label → block_id) so
\ref-style citations can be converted into [[file#^block_id]] reliably.
- Math formatting discipline: Enforce strict rules for inline/display math, callout-based theorem/definition structure, TikZ-only diagram rendering, and conservative rewriting that avoids inventing unsupported claims.
- Automated workflow support: Use provided scripts to preprocess LaTeX chapters (macro expansion, index cleanup), build the label map from converted markdown, and validate common conversion issues.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to convert a LaTeX chapter file into Obsidian markdown following mathdown’s formatting rules and then update the unified label map so all cross-references resolve to stable block IDs.
