LaTeX hackery

Stream: general

[Kevin Buzzard]

Is it possible to set up some global LaTeX macros for Zulip? I'm sick of typing \mathbb{N} and \mathbb{Z} (the latter comes up a lot in the condensed stuff) and \mathbb{R} (also Q and C) here, when in my LaTeX documents they are just \N, \Z etc.

This is in the context of doc-gen, right?

This is in the context of writing $\mathbb{Z}$ in messages

Who knows what else you don't know yet that you want and was already done by the Zulip people?
