Hi Dalon,

Not very difficult to make, but you would need to dig in a bit in the zim
object structure.

Basically you want to modify the equation editor plugin to listen to the
end-of-word signal, and trigger the dialog when you match a latex equation.

The code for this plugin is seperated in zim/plugins/equationeditor.py and
the base class zim/plugins/base/imagegenerators.py

To see an example of how to do the automatic text replacement have a look
at the "insertsymbol" plugin.

Regards,

Jaap
