The syntax highlighting for LaTeX math mode is very good. I have noticed, however, a discrepancy in the way the highlighting and the automatic delimiters are treated. I mean, normally typing a $ will automatically generate a second one (after the cursor) to end the math mode. However, I have found that this fails when a command in math mode spans multiple lines. That is, if there is a hard return in math mode, then the delimiters behave incorrectly eventhough the syntax highlighting is correct.
Here's an example: $math stuff that spans two lines$ when I put a $ here it thinks I'm closing the math mode from the first dollar sign on this line of code rather than thinking I'm starting a new math mode.
Interesting, I hadn't noticed it before. I have no idea why this might be happening, Allan might have some insights. It's not something we can really control from the bundle. Of course, a simple solution is to use ( ... ) instead, which is quite unambiguous about where it starts and where it ends.
