Steps to reproduce
- Create new empty node, say “Parent”
- Create another node, say “Child”. With the following content
>$$
\frac{d}{dx}(x^{n})=nx^{n-1}
$$
[[Parent]]
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Y
Expected result
The Child note should be linked to the Parent node. Graph view should show connection between them.
Actual result
The graph view doesn’t show the connection.
In addition, Child’s outgoing links panel seems empty (and so Parent’s backlinks).

Additional information
huh, what an odd bug.
fwiw the syntax for display math in block quotes should be
> $$
> \frac{d}{dx}(x^{n})=nx^{n-1}
> $$
and with this syntax the link afterward is tracked correctly. however this does not get rendered correctly, with > showing up in the equation. this is fixed by the community plugin Better Math in Callouts & Blockquotes.
Hi.
I don’t know why, but this appears to work:
> $$
\> \frac{d}{dx}(x^{n})=nx^{n-1}
\> $$
[[Parent]]
If you switch to Reading View (which usually renders things more accurately) you’ll see that the link is included as part of the equation. This probably explains what you’re seeing. I’m not sure if it’s the correct behavior or not.
This appears to be a quirk of Live Preview. It displays correctly in Reading View.
