Exclude $...$ and $$...$$ delimeters when identifying 'spaces-around-equals'

[jbrick55]

Hi. First, thank you so much for creating this extension.

The spaces-around-equals attribute diagnostic is triggered by = inside LaTeX math environments ($...$ and $$...$$), where it is not an attribute assignment. I see that backtick code spans and fenced code blocks are already excluded. Could inline and block math be excluded in the same way?"

Could you share a complete example? Also which version of Quarto Wizard are you using?

I cannot reproduce:

$E=mc^2$

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

R	Python
````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: knitr --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{r} x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25) plot(x, y) ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````	````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: jupyter --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{python} import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code block (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

I was able to replicate the error using this...

---
title: "Untitled"
format: html

# Welcome to My Website

$$
\frac{d}{dx} \left( \int_{0}^{x} f(t) \, dt \right) = f(x)
$$

$$
\text{sample proportion = population proportion + random error}
$$

It appears the problem is only triggered on the second block equation with the \text{...

The problem I'm getting in the VS Code (on Mac) Problems window is...
