Thanks for the feedback Jsevillamol! And good timing 🙂 Hope WYSIWYG footnotes are meeting your needs. Full interoperability is a pretty tall order, and I expect it won’t be a near-term add, but I’ve added it to our list in any case. Cheers!
In hindsight, the footnotes was the thing I really wanted so I am a very happy user indeed!
Would be good to be able to switch between editors to do things like eg editing complicated LaTeX (right now its complicated to edit it in the WYIWYG editor). But maybe the more reasonable ask is to make the WYSIWYG equation editor span multiple lines for large equations.
Actually it looks like a version of this is currently possible! There’s a handle in the lower-right corner of the equation editor that let’s you resize it. Once you’ve done that, it remains at the set width and wraps the contents to fit. The way the equation editor follows the cursor can be a bit janky, but it does seem to work.

Really glad to hear footnotes have met your needs!
Added to the list! Are you writing long enough equations that the text goes offscreen?
Yes, that is right.
I don’t have any recent examples in the EA Forum, but here is an article I wrote in LessWrong where the equations where very annoying to edit.
I expect I occassionally would use larger equations, better formated (with underbraces and such) if it was easier to edit in the WYSIWYG editor.
