What should I put into the tex file?

[PrajwalS1234]

After a lot of searching and staring at code, I was able to find a command which didn't give me an error

latex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error -shell-escape '/home/bob/example.tex' && dvisvgm '/home/bob/example.dvi'

I am using MX-Linux btw.

This is what is in the example.tex file

\documentclass{standalone}
\begin{document}
Hello, $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$.
\end{document}

This is what is in the example.dvi file(drive link attached)

I don't know what to enter into the latex code block, because no matter what I enter it gives me nothing back.

githubProject2.mp4

Now, what should I enter in the tex file to get the right output. I am sorry but the read.md doesn't explain well enough.

As the readme says (https://github.com/fenjalien/obsidian-latex-render#usage) the document class is set to standalone for you by prepending \documentclass{standalone} to the source.
Maybe try

\begin{document}
Hello, $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$
\end{document}

edit: so when the terminal executes the command it works and creates a svg file but when something happens via the obsidian plugin you created nothing happens. I have had this problems with linux apps before. and I haven't found a solution to it

Untitled.Project.mp4

so look brother, I don't know how this works,

I will detail everything here, This is the file I am executing, and this is the command I am using to execute it

I have included \documentclass{standalone} because, if I don't it will cause an error inside Obsidian
latex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error -shell-escape "/home/bob/example.tex" && dvisvgm --exact --font-format=woff2 "/home/bob/example.dvi"

And this command works well enough that it creates a example.svg file. But, it stays in /home/bob/ folder as example.svg
There won't be any changes in .obsidian/obsidian-latex-render-svg-cache\ where I assume it's supposed to be in.

I don't know how it's supposed to work, but I reckon it's supposed to create a .svg file and move it into the .obsidian/obsidian-latex-render-svg-cache\ directory and your code will insert the image inside Obsidian.

But, it's not happening. I have tried this for a day and I give up :(

Thanks for trying to help anyway.

last edit, because, I might forget it,

I have found that this command
featherpad example.tex && latex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error -shell-escape "/home/bob/example.tex" && dvisvgm --exact --font-format=woff2 "/home/bob/example.dvi"
is the next best thing to your plugin.

It basically opens featherpad, takes my edit and copies the svg to the clipboard so I can paste it into obsidian. Lot of work, but yeah, peace!
