I want to be able to use the \[ ... \]
shorthand to enter either the equation
or align
environment instead of the displaymath
environment. Is it possible to do this? I know you can define new commands, but I'm not sure if it is a problem if they are already defined.
Context: I use MultiMarkDown and you use \\[
and \\]
to enter math using raw LaTeX. It works fine, except that the math environment you are entering is displaymath
instead of equation
or align
.
I'd really appreciate any help.

I'm not sure what syntax you want. If you want to change
\[
and\]
, just use something like:If you want to use commands
\\[
and\\]
with double backslash, things may be more complex. It is possible, but difficult to implemented, and not recommended, since there is already a\\
command and usage\\[2ex]
.
