  1. I just experienced the same bug. Spontaneously Evernote reimported everything from all my import folders. Have not changed anything and it has been working fine for years with the current setup. Very odd. I guess it will encourage people to move to v10 🙂
  2. My understanding is that Evernote 10 uses Electron and is mainly written in JavaScript. This means that supporting Katex would require very limited effort for the Evernote team. As an example, Joplin, supports Katex along with many other Evernote features with only one developer for the whole project (and it does not have the performance problems of Evernote 10!) You could argue that only a small % of the Evernote user base would use math equations, but that is true of many features in Evernote. Code block formatting is only used by a minority of users (software developers). Spell checking in Dutch is only used by a small % of users (mainly from the Netherlands) but I believe it is supported. With any complex application like Evernote any single user uses a small % of the features. So just because you don't want maths equations does not mean it does not make sense for Evernote to support it. Live and let live?
  3. LaTeX/Mathjax would be incredibly useful to anyone who needs to use math in their notes. That is a lot of people given that most university courses include some math. The embedding solution does not work for math notation, I have tried it. It is similar to saying that you need to embed a file to use capital letters. It is so awkward to do that you just don't bother. I have been using Evernote for more than 10 years and been waiting to recommend it to colleagues and students when LaTeX is supported ... maybe it will happen one day. If asked I point them to Joplin or Bear as similar apps but with LaTeX support. If Evernote could implement something like the Typora approach to math notation it would attract a new set of users.
  4. Hi, the support for Latex is fantastic with this app. I have dreamed of Evernote supporting Latex, but never expected it to happen. With the Evernote web client I found that it would render any equation however complex. However, to get the same result on the Windows 7 client required me to install the right fonts. It seems that Marxico uses MathJax to render the latex. After installing the correct fonts I could get all the examples at http://www.mathjax.org/demos/tex-samples/ to work (as far as I can tell Marxico supports everything from MathJax except automatic equation numbering - you can use \tag to do it by hand). The steps I followed werePartial solution - MathJax - MathJax Font Help - advice is to go to STIX website to get the install - I did this, and it half worked, there seeemed to be fonts missing, eg STIXMathJax_Size2-Regular.otf. To get it fully working needed the additional steps below (this first step may have been redundant). Download latest MathJax from Installing and Testing MathJax — MathJax 2.4 documentation - DO NOT INSTALL. Find the otf folder - \MathJax-2.4-latest.zip\MathJax-2.4-latest\fonts\HTML-CSS\TeX\otf Install all of these using instructions at Install or uninstall fonts. Then everything seems to render perfectly in Evernote on the PC - still a few problems on Android.Has anyone else had to go through the same process? Is there an easier way and how do you do it with the Evernote Android client? Hope this is useful. Peter.
