LavaTex

LavaTex is an opinionated Obsidian plugin for writing math in Obsidian and exporting it to production-ready, collaborator-friendly LaTeX. It’s a thin layer on top of pandoc + pandoc-crossref — the plugin’s own code is only the pieces pandoc doesn’t provide: a friendlier note-editing syntax, and live math-macro rendering in Obsidian’s own editor.

• Architecture — how a note becomes a .tex file, and how the live-preview math macros work. Diagrammed.
• Spec — the exact markdown superset LavaTex reads: frontmatter fields, bold-statement theorem syntax, reference shortcuts, and where raw LaTeX is still the right tool.

exports to a real \begin{lemma}[\cite{kk} S.21f]\label{lem-gitter-invariant}... environment, numbered and cross-referenceable, with a matching \begin{proof}...\end{proof}.
