Hey,
I try to write the following in latex:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{insert(element|text)} inserts the element or text passed at the start of the selection.
\item \textbf{insert_after(element|text)} inserts the element or text passed at the end of the selection.
\item \textbf{replace(element|text)} replaces the selection with the passed text/element.
\item \textbf{delete()} deletes the selected text.
\item \textbf{annotate(name,value)} annotates the selected text with the passed name and value-pair. This can either be a hidden meta-data about the selection, or can alter the visible appearance.
\item \textbf{clear_annotation()} removes any annotation for this specific selection.
\item \textbf{update_element(value)} performs an update of the element at the selection with the passed value.
\end{itemize}
For some reason, I get a bunch of errors. I think there is something with the use of the word "insert". I get errors like "Missing $ inserted", so it seems like the parses tries to fix some "errors" on my parts. Do I need to escape words like "insert", how do I do that?
