Hopefully, these screenshots capture what's happening:   Here. conceal seems to work for - $x^2$ - \( x^2 \) - $$ x^2 $$ But not for \[ x^2 \]. (Incidentally, vim seems to be picking up some sort error in the \[ \] environment on the `^` symbol, perhaps this is related?) Some possibly related commits: - #216 - #155
