Format `\_` as `_` when in normal mode

[mfbehrens]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it.
Everything from textit to -- gets formatted into something that makes sense. But not \_.

Describe the solution you'd like
Format \_ as _ when in normal mode and not in that line.

Can you please provide some actual examples and possibly a screenshot of how things look on your end?

You say "formatted", but you mean "displayed". The feature you are referring to is called conceal, see :help conceal. VimTeX has support for a lot of syntax conceals.

I believe you are asking that I add a syntax rule that will conceal \_ as simply _. Can you explain why you think this makes sense?

[mfbehrens]

Probably yes. Because LaTeX renders \_ as an underscore. The same reason why ~ (non-breaking space) gets displayed as a space and -- (long hyphen) gets displayed as a single long hyphen.

Ok, I've added it now.
