Hi,

I really like this app and have purchased the premium version. My one gripe is that it does not have support for the following syntax:

$y = x^2 + 5$

This normally renders an inline math equation on many different markdown editors like Jupyter and Typora, and all my notes make use of this functionality. However, Epsilon notes has a different inline math syntax, and it would be unreasonable for me to change all of my notes to accommodate this, especially when my other note taking programs do not use the same format.

Could this format please become an added feature in the application?

Hello, Paul!

I've added the single $ format for MathJax in Epsilon Notes. 
To activate it, you need to update the app (after it appears in Google Play), and check the option "Use single $ for inline MathJax formulas" in Menu - Preferences - Plugins

Thanks for adding this! Might I suggest also adding a feature that allows escape characters for $? So that would be for the following situations:

1. Types \$40 outside of math block, result should simply be: $40, and should not start a new math block
2. Types $C_A=\$70$ - this should render C_A=$70 (in math typeset)

Great work!
