Does not work at all

Sabheen Gull, 2024-03-01

This doesn't work at all. In google forms, when I type _2 this is all you see. _2. ^2 is just a ^2. I'm pretty sure it is a joke. The only reason I gave it two starts instead of one star is that at least when I click on the extension it gives me a list of symbols which I can then copy and paste. However, it's not as easy as other sites because it closes up again every time you type in the form, and you have to go back and open it to use a different symbol. It's easier to just open a different page on my second screen for quicker copy/pasting. A real pain for chemistry where every question has a subscript or superscript. Thumbs down.
