### What issue do you have?

When converting from Evernote, I found this error in several notes:

KaTeX parse error: Expected 'EOF', got '#' at position 15: er9 GUEST3: ma#̲m1

These notes had passwords for a couple of demo accounts:

GUEST1: ma#̲m1  
GUEST3: ma#̲m1

I searched for "KaTeX parse error" and didn't find any other similar errors.

Is there any way to modify the Evedrnote to Joplin conversion so that these errors don't occur? Makes me wonder as to the quality of the conversion

Thanks,

John

There are probably $ signs in the note which makes part of the content being detected as Katex code. If you don't need this you can turn off the Math option in the Config \> Markdown tab
