Three Mathjax Problems

Bear feedback Bear Bug Report

1

I’m a new (potential actually) Bear user and I was excited to learn that it now has mathematical typesetting support. However, immediately upon trying the feature I encountered several problems.

  1. Math doesn’t render in Markdown tables. Neither inline math $…$ nor display math $$…$$ produce any typesetting inside tables.
  2. Display math with the $$…$$ and the formula on a single line doesn’t produce any typesetting.

See attached screenshot for illustration of issues 1 and 2.

  1. Large-ish files with a lot of mathematical typesetting are very very slow to scroll. The bigger the file, the slower the scrolling performance. As an example, I attempted to import a file, which according to Bear contains 5176 words and 32620 characters (original Markdown file was about 34 KB), and the performance was so slow as to be completely unusable.

  1. I agree, would love to have MathJax in tables.
  2. Can’t you wrap the formula in single $ to get the inline function? It works for me.
  3. I have this same problem. The developers have been in contact and I’ve provided a few example notes with the problem. They’re working on it. Hoping for a fix soon!
