Dollar sign after a space should not create a Latex block
R
Richard Kim
If I paste something that has multiple dollar signs in it, Capacities will always create a Latex block. For example, I pasted $40 for this option and $50 for this option
and it creates: [40 for this option and ]50 for this option
where the square brackets represent the Latex block
Desired change: only create a latex block if the last dollar sign does not follow a space or newline
Another desired change: when removing latex styling, the $ signs should be put back in

Copy-paste behaviour options

Add options under user settings to customise copy-paste behaviour. Currently, if you paste text, text between $ is formatted as Katex. When working with text that includes a lot of dollar figures (for example, financial documents), formatting breaks unless you paste as plain text, which introduces blank paragraph blocks into the document that must be manually deleted.

Yes, this is crazy, because every time I have a dollar sign in my markdown pasted to Capacities (which I paste many times a day), I get something like this.

Thanks for reporting. You can use the 'Ctrl+Shift+V' ('Cmd+Shift+V') shortcut to paste as plain text. We will discuss whether the dollar signs should be re-inserted automatically or not.
