I tried using this on mathscinet, and it successfully converted the text code into something readable, but it didn't remove any of the dollar signs (the $), so it was still annoying to read. Seems like this should be easy to fix, which is why I am leaving a one star review to get the attention of the creators, then I will convert this to a 5 star review after this problem is fixed.
