#1

First of all, great product! I found a very minor bug—when importing from Roam, the importer does not convert Latex correctly. $$f(x)$$ should be converted to $f(x)$, instead it is left as-is.

There also are some unsupported commands in Obsidian’s Latex interpreter, e.g., \bm{x}. (On that note, what is the Obsidian interpreter? Is it Katex or Mathjax? If the latter, is there a reason for that? I’ve found it to be slower and less feature-rich)

#2

We use MathJax3. Obsidian supports both inline and block latex.
It’s not immediately clear that anybody coming from Roam would want their formulae converted from block to inline.

#3

All Roam latex is formatted with the double $$—there is no distinction between block and inline

#4

that is why it’s not clear what we should do about it.

#5

Perhaps convert unless there are newline characters on either side of the $$<latex>$$? Obsidian formats an inline double $$<latex>$$ as $<formatted latex>$, so it seems unambiguous, unless I’m missing something

#6

Not anymore in 0.7.4.

You can open a feature request for the roam importer.
