  • (2023-04-17) Sohail Farhangi: I tried using this on mathscinet, and it successfully converted the text code into something readable, but it didn't remove any of the dollar signs (the $), so it was still annoying to read. Seems like this should be easy to fix, which is why I am leaving a one star review to get the attention of the creators, then I will convert this to a 5 star review after this problem is fixed.
  • (2022-12-10) Arkady Shaldov: utterly genius
  • (2022-09-09) Ojas Bhagavath: Does what it says (mostly), some conversions don't occur, but other than that, I'm happy.
  • (2021-11-23) Mark Ma: any one knows how to add Subscripts and superscripts? I tried _j and ^y not working
  • (2021-03-03) Alejandro Díaz-Caro: Excellent extension!
  • (2020-07-15) Robert Cordery: What a time saver!
  • (2019-03-12) 陳志源: Thanks for this useful plugin. I found that somehow subscripts didn't work. I don't know if I did something wrong. Thanks again.
  • (2018-06-30) Nate Kindt: This is slick! I can't seem to get it to work in Google Docs. That's the only thing that could make it better.

  • (2021-03-15, v:1.3.1) Sebastian Ørsted: Super- and subscripts sometimes vanish
    If I set the extension to also replace super- and subscripts, these indices usually just vanish completely, unless it is something very simple like _1, _0, etc.
  • (2021-03-15, v:1.3.1) Sebastian Ørsted: Weird bugs
    If I press Alt + W, the TeX is replaced by unicode, as expected. But if I don’t press the space bar immediately afterwards, it sometimes changes back to TeX when I type another character. Also, if I do press space, the cursor is moved a couple of steps backwards in hte text. It is very confusing.

    as title...
  • (2018-06-30, v:0.0.8) Nate Kindt: Google Docs
    Have you looked into making this work with Google Docs? It's been a while since I worked with javascript but if you point me in the right direction maybe I could help add that feature. It would let me take notes way faster in my math classes than using the limited Google Equation Editor shortcuts that are available.
