preamble.sty not loading on start; but loads on toggling safe mode

[tyjyang]

Hi I am on obsidian Desktop v0.14.2, and preamble.sty doesn't load on start.

What would make it work is if I turn on safe mode, and then turn it off. At this point all my custom latex commands would work again. However, if I then close obsidian and re-open it, those commands would be in red again.

I think this is symptomatic of errors on a deep level, could you help me with this? Thanks!

Hmm, could you check the console for any error messages?

If you go to a line with red latex and then insert a character then remove it (to force it to refresh the rendering), does it work? If it does, then it might be that it renders it before it loads the plugin.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies, and sorry for not getting back to you earlier, some mishap in my email notifications.

Indeed, there is some error message from the console:

And I checked @MinusGix 's suggestion, edit & re-render doesn't solve the issue.

Oh fun... amsmath is missing? Do you think you could try re-installing obsidian?

Hi @xldenis , I tried to reinstall obsidian, now the version is v0.14.5, but the symptom persists, and I checked the console, it is indeed the same error:

EDIT:

• enable & disable safe mode still works, no idea why

I found that this symptom is consistent throughout my Windows desktop, iPad, and iPhone.

I'm also (sort of) having the same problem, in that it's simply not loading. Toggling safe mode and reinstalling Obsidian don't seem to work. Using v 0.14.15 on a Mac. Has it simply stopped working because of an update or anything? I've also tried it with the legacy editor.

If someone would like to take this plugin over I will happily give it. I don't enjoy attempting to follow Obsidian's API changes which break the hack which enables this.

The extension still works for me on 0.14.15 on Linux, so I wonder if there's some differences between platforms. Providing any error logs (Ctrl + Shift + I on linux) would be helpful.
