LaTeX Concealer for Sublime-Text-3

LaTeX concealer for sublime-text-3

This is a personal project to replicate some of vim's conceal features in sublime text 3. Source code takes up a lot of spacing in LaTeX, but more importantly it also clutters the document, which makes writing documents in math cumbersome and difficult. This is an attempt to conceal source code with an UTF-8 rendered approximation.

The current version uses a combination of syntax fold, manipulating the color of the fold icon, and phantom objects in sublime to conceal code.

Tips

In order to make folding distraction free, try looking up the background color in your color scheme and change the fold icon to have the same color. This makes it coalesce with the background. In my case, I changed the fold color to Guna's background.
