Hi folks, I am having trouble with dollar signs in my markdown notes, if I want to type $100 do I just type that? Does it distinguish between that math mode? Do I have to escape the $, \$ ?

@User $100 seems to work fine for me, at least in the preview window. Are worrying about some specific case?

It looks like there's a problem if you use two $ in the same line

Yes that is exactly the problem I think in that case it thinks " the 100 while B costs" is in math mode/ latex mode, how to fix this

I tried backslash escaping and substituting

$

for $ but neither helps 🤷‍♀️

ha, well that sucks

you might find help from here: https://shd101wyy.github.io/markdown-preview-enhanced/#/math

@User I got it working)) You need to open settings and search for "Markdown-preview-enhanced: Math Inline Delimiters" Then click edit in settings.json

and edit the $ signs to something else, like '$x' or whatever

> Kevin: Any way to have the dendron tree view not pop up when clicking on files in the workspace? @User are you saying the feature i added a bug? 😅 will be adding a configuration option to turn that off, hopefully today, latest tomorrow!

kevin ok awesome!

> @User I found the problem and a fix: > On the default settings for the

Markdown Notes

extension, piped links were disabled and the default wiki links syntax was

file|desc

instead of

desc|file

@User got it! that was my suspicion. dendron does initialize your workspace with the correct settings if you use

Dendron: Initialize Workspace

. that being said, we use a fork of markdown notes -

dendron markdown notes

. can you check that you don't have both installed?

Hmm I installed that extension from the link in the recommened extensions section of the VS Code marketplace page for Dendron

The link for Markdown Notes takes here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kortina.vscode-markdown-notes

need to update those docs 😅

when you initialize your workspace using dendron, we use the following settings:

"extensions": {
        "recommendations": [
            "dendron.dendron-paste-image",
            "equinusocio.vsc-material-theme",
            "dendron.dendron-markdown-shortcuts",
            "dendron.dendron-markdown-preview-enhanced",
            "dendron.dendron-markdown-links",
            "dendron.dendron-markdown-notes",
            "github.github-vscode-theme"
        ],
        "unwantedRecommendations": [
            "shd101wyy.markdown-preview-enhanced",
            "kortina.vscode-markdown-notes",
            "mushan.vscode-paste-image"
        ]
    }

Ugh, I don't know what happened. I'll just start a fresh profile for VS Code and start from scratch

sorry for the confusion

Hi folks, just adding some information about my $ query above. My settings are set to katex for math rendering. Things look good in the regular preview but not in the markdown preview enhanced. Any other fix?

Okay the clean profile and fresh install works well so far!

> 👍

I have the left sidebar hidden, and when I switch between different notes tabs in the editor it opens the sidebar again, any setting I can tweak to disable this behavior ?

we had another user mention this too. will be releasing a option to disable this behavior, probably later today!

Perfect, thanks!

sometimes you release bugs turn out to be features, sometimes its features that turn out to be bugs

live and learn 🙂

Haha yeah well, also when there's a large user base, each user has their own usage and preferences

Trying to get that perfect experience nailed down
