it sounds like you are looking for a way to conveniently entering
equations in LaTeX to me. This is seems like a case where you cannot
have it both ways, that is convenient subscripts in math and text that
are easy to tell the difference between, e.g. in H_{2}O you do not want
the letters in math mode, but in e^{x}=3 you do. It is hard to see how a
filter function would always do the right thing here.
The easiest thing is probably to make a function to make it simple to
add equations, e.g. this function will wrap a selected region in $$ (or
\(\) with a prefix arg) or insert those so you can type in the equation.
I bind it to super-4 which is pretty easy to use. you could also try
some kind of yasnippet approach.
(defun latex-math-region-or-point (&optional arg)
(interactive "P")
(let ((chars (if arg
'("\\(" . "\\)")
'("$" . "$"))))
(if (region-active-p)
(progn
(goto-char (region-end))
(insert (car chars))
(goto-char (region-beginning))
(insert (cdr chars)))
(insert (concat (car chars) (cdr chars)))
(backward-char (length (cdr chars))))))
(define-key global-map (kbd "s-4") 'latex-math-region-or-point)
