I am trying to set up some shortcuts for LaTeX in pages. I have one for fractions that doesn't work
;frac changed to \frac{}{}
It just replaces with
the result I get is rac{}{} it is not inputing the \f
I tried both typing and pasting and I got the same result
Others like ;mu to \mu is working fine
I'm 80% sure that the problem you are having can be fixed by going into the cogwheel of that action and set the flag "Process Nothing". Your \f needs to be stopped being interpreted by KM as a linefeed, which you can read about on this page:
That worked, thank you
An alternative -- good for when you want to process some tokens but not others -- is to "escape" things you don't want to be interpreted.
Quoting from the manual:
Using Special Characters as Plain Text
To include a percent in your text, simply double the percent (%%). To include a backslash \ in your text, double the backslash (\).
So:
You don't always have to escape the \ -- as you saw with your \m, if what follows can't be interpreted as "special" the \ will be treated as a literal character -- but it's good practice to always escape it so you don't get caught out.
