Detailed Updates

⭐️ Sums and Totals of Previous Lines

• New feature and syntax for summing a group of lines: @sum or @total (closes #18, #49, #36)
• When Numerals encounters @total or @sum it inserts the sum of all previous lines up until the last blank line or comment
• Can use in a calculation or unit conversion

⭐️ Values in Note Frontmatter

Numerals can now reference note frontmatter or dataview inline values. Set the numerals property on a page to share specific properties with all math blocks on a page.

In order to access metadata, you need to tell Numerals to make the value available by:

1. Set the numerals metadata value (either frontmatter or dataview inline property) to the name of the value you want to include, or a list of values
   • Frontmatter of numerals: other_metadata_name, or numerals: [metadata_1, metadata_2]
   • inline value: [numerals:: other_metadata_name]
2. Set the metadata value of numerals to all: will index all metadata and make it available to dataview
3. Enable "Always Process All Frontmatter" in the Numerals settings

Numerals is able to write back to dataview values, through use of Result Insertion

⭐️ Note-wide Global Variables

Any variable name preceeded by an $ symbol will be made available to all math blocks on a page (closes #34)

⭐️ Result Insertion - Store Results in Raw Text

Using the new @[...] syntax (for example: @[profit]), Numerals will insert the results of a calculation into the raw text of your notes. (closes #22)

⭐️ Greek Letter Auto-complete

• Add greek letter auto-completion after typing :. e.g. :mu in a math block will offer μ as an auto-complete suggestion (closes #69)
• Greek letters can be used in any variable name. They also work with subscripting when in math-tex block.

⭐️ Custom Currency Support

• Add custom currency support. In Numerals setting, user can set a currency symbol and name. (closes #54, #52, #61)
• Allows for example: ₿100 / day * 3 hours → 12.5 BTC if you set ₿ as the custom currency:
