Subtle context matching about hsnips

[draivin]

Hi @gruvw, the cleanest way for this to be fixed would be for LaTeX-Workshop to update their syntax files so that the math environment wouldn't be active inside a \text command, or alternatively to add another distinguishable scope once inside such a command (this implementation has the clear drawback where we are just pushing the problem one step down the scope ladder, what happens if we have a math block inside a \text command?).

On our end, the best we can probably do is to create a vscode extension that injects the relevant LaTeX grammar. The end result would be the same, but it would require one additional extension installation.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of textmate grammars isn't all that great (I'm barely able to add syntax highlighting to the .hsnips files), so I'd have to take some time to find out how to do that.

Ok...

I don't think that the solution is to create a special extension just for this purpose and I hope we don't need to go that way...

About pushing the problem to the next text nesting, I don't really see the point: if you are in text mode (within a math block), why would you nest a new \text context ?
In short: \text{test $x+3 \text{ test}$} is the same as \text{test $x+3$ test}.
At least for me, one level nesting would be enough.

I will create a new issue in the LaTeX Workshop repository to see what they can do about it.
