Upgrade StorageMarkdown Notes in Zotero
Is there a option to type plain markdown in zotero notes without beeing converted?
The problem is the automatic formatting from markdown input in the default notes. When I type some more advanced mathjax formulas they are also not rendered correctly, since linebreaks (no blank lines) lead to unwanted divisions between parts of one and the same formula.
My main note-taking app is obsidian, so using a plugin like betternotes feels like overkill.

You can't avoid the automatic conversion (though you can Ctrl/Cmd-Z to undo a conversion), but Zotero can export notes as Markdown, and a plugin could do the same.
Also, you're aware of math mode in notes? $…$ for inline math and $$ + space for a block.
I was afraid that the Zotero view only supports very few features.
Thanks to your answer I realized that the simple copy paste (windows ctrl + shift + v) is not enough. If I manually re-enter the formulas with $$ + space they are formatted correctly. Similarly, I have to add and delete a space after inline equations to trigger the formatting.
I don't like the implicit conversion to rich text, but now I realize that zotero fundamentally supports more complex formulas. Thanks for the answer.
It would be a great feature if the conversion script could first detect mathjax and then convert the rest of the text correctly, instead of just converting everything.
