It can also be used to edit one of your own posts which had a lot of latex equations.  For example:
Here are many formula:
$$x$$$$y$$$$z$$

I didn't have to copy each formula separately.  I just had to click on button to get it all.

Hello, 

This is interesting. Can someone else see the quote, even though they don't have the extension?

anonymous · Answer

Quotes appear to all people the same thing, regardless of whether they use the extension or not.  They appear like so:

No parsing is done by the extension to make quotes look nice.  The drawback is that nested quotes tend to be a bit confusing.  The only thing the extension does is convert $\LaTeX$ equations and `code` into their original input text, unlike what normal copying and pasting would do.

anonymous · Answer

Seems interesting. I gotta give it a try.

That's awesome :)

thomaster · Answer

But it does mess up the timestamp and the report abuse link a little bit :P
Maybe something to fix.

anonymous · Answer

Yeah there might still be bugs, like Thomaster mentioned.

anonymous · Answer

To be honest, I'm getting that issue whether or not my extension is enabled, so I'm not sure where it is coming from.

anonymous · Answer

Though my extension did make me more aware of the issue.

anonymous · Answer

@thomaster Can you give me a screenshot when extension is not enabled?

thomaster · Answer

I disabled the extension and it's still there... 
Didn't notice it before, but I have seen it working correct many times so it's probably a recent bug.

thomaster · Answer

Funny by the way, when you disable the extension without refreshing the page, the link turns into a button :P

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, I expected as much.  I don't want to try to fix a bug that isn't caused by my extension because it might break things if the site bug is fixed.

anonymous · Answer

That is because the extension CSS is removed, but the button HTML is still there.

thomaster · Answer

Still, it's definitely a helpful tool.
I also like your notebook extension, I probably use it more than equation, draw and attach combined :P

anonymous · Answer

If anyone comes up with ideas of how to make quotes look better for all people, whether they user the extension or not, let me know.

anonymous · Answer

Initially I considered something like: 

Quote: user 
```
fasdf
```
But this disables latex.

anonymous · Answer

And it doesn't nest either.

thomaster · Answer

It would look better...

anonymous · Answer

I could have two types of quotes.

One without latex or code:

Quote by @user
```
Body
```

And then another that with latex or code:

Quote by @user
```
```
Blah
```
```

thomaster · Answer

Yea I think the second one works best.
Also a timestamp would be cool :)
