Card extraction

These settings are included in the Windows download. The current macOS and Linux downloads do not include them yet.

Ignore tables

1. Open Settings → Extraction.
2. Enable Ignore math in tables.
3. Choose Apply and rescan. All open project libraries refresh; closed projects refresh when opened.

The default is off. This option excludes cards inside these containers:

Format	Containers
LaTeX	table, table*, tabular, tabular*, tabularx, longtable environments
Typst	Literal table(...) calls, including their content blocks

Equations outside these containers keep their identities. Source files, Source previews and the full paper PDF stay unchanged. Saved presentation variants remain in the Library; disabling an exclusion restores source cards and their saved names and font sizes.

Customize exclusions

Choose Edit JSON to change extraction.json, or Reveal settings folder to edit the file externally. Settings apply to all projects.

{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "kind": "mathlidelux.extraction",
  "ignoreMathInTables": true,
  "excludedLatexEnvironments": ["results", "tabu"],
  "excludedTypstFunctions": ["grid", "paper.results"]
}

Field	Effect
ignoreMathInTables	Enables the table containers listed above
excludedLatexEnvironments	Additional \begin{name}…\end{name} environments to exclude, including nested content and included files
excludedTypstFunctions	Additional literal function calls to exclude, including nested content

• Names are exact and case-sensitive; omit \begin, #, parentheses and arguments. No regular expressions or wildcards. A trailing * in a LaTeX name is literal.
• Custom lists apply even when Ignore math in tables is off. Empty lists add no custom exclusions.
• Qualified Typst names use their written spelling, such as paper.results. Aliases and dynamically constructed calls are not resolved.
• Each list accepts up to 128 names, each at most 128 ASCII characters. LaTeX names accept letters, digits, _, *, @, :, -; Typst names use dot-separated identifiers containing letters, digits, _, -, starting with a letter or _.

In the built-in editor, choose Use configuration, then Apply and rescan. After external edits, choose Reload. Import loads JSON into the editor for review; Apply saves it to the active settings file. Export saves a reusable copy.

Invalid JSON or names leave the last valid settings in use and preserve the original file. Repair the external file and Reload before saving. If another window or editor changed the file, Reload before applying your changes.

Extraction boundaries

Exclusions filter literal cards that FerMatter can already extract; they do not evaluate macros, Typst functions or loops. Typst math inside unsupported calls may already be absent when table filtering is off. See Extraction limitations.
