GithubBetter Math in Callouts & Blockquotes
This is an Obsidian.md plugin to add better Live Preview support for math rendering inside callouts & blockquotes.
Note: The feature of this plugin was originally a part of LaTeX-like Theorem & Equation Referencer, another community plugin of mine. I completely rewrote it with a bunch of improvements and decided to release it as a separate plugin for better modularity.
Features
Math in Callouts
In Live Preview, the vanilla Obsidian does not render MathJax in callouts while editing them. This plugin solves this problem.
Moreover, it also enables proper handling of multi-line math blocks; see the next section below.

Math in Blockquotes
In Live Preview, the vanilla Obsidian misunderstands a ">" symbol at the beginning of a line in a blockquote or a callout as an inequality sign ("greater than") in multi-line math blocks, while Reading View properly recognizes them. This plugin makes them consistent with Reading View.
Example
> $$
> \begin{align}
> a &= b \\
> &= c
> \end{align}
> $$
