I've often thought that something like this is what's missing from the various online Markdown editors that exist. Many of them have some way of quickly previewing what you've written, which is important, but some sort of content-focussed approach like this seems like it would also be a good idea.

I wouldn't say it works perfectly for latex, I can't see any of my equations. They're the most important bits.

The example even shows this issue; \LaTex, \TeX, and \LaTeXe are all part of the content of that paragraph.

Author here. I've never used LaTeX before. It was just suggested to me that it worked fine. If you open an issue about it with some specifics on what's not working, I'll make sure to look into it.

I think this would be neat as a command rather than having it on all the time. So you would have a keystroke that turns it on and off. Perhaps it could even be on by default.

I bet something like that would be very easy to hack into Emacs on top of its new built-in color theme support. It shouldn't be difficult for other editors either.

I agree. I'm already planning a Sublime plugin for this.

That's how I use it with vim. It's easy there to bind a key to `:colorscheme focus-dark` and another to `:colorscheme yourdefaulttheme`. I guess it wouldn't be hard to make one that toggles between both, but I was lazy.

Doggonit I suggested this back in Feb in the Sublime Text forum- http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=111...

Why do projects have such pretentious names? Just today "Draft" and "Focus", both of which do almost nothing, were announced. sigh

That said I think a mode would be better, and that the unimportant stuff shouldn't be quite so much harder to read.

I know, right? Why would I use a theme that gives me eyestrain when I need to debug my HTML?

There is a problem with spanish accents like "ó" in HTML
