Disabling Maths Results in Apple Notes

Apple Notes detects certain kinds of expressions and computes a result, formatting the maths along the way. I find it mainly useful, but not always.

The disable: Format > Maths Results and select Off. This appears to be a per-Note setting.

The particular case I ran into was Notes turning a SQL clause into a formatted expression. E.g., x.assay_id = a.assay_id became x×assay_id = a×assay_id —the period becoming a multiplication symbol.

This is only visual: if you copy and paste the content elsewhere, the original characters are preserved.

I can’t reproduce this now, but turning off Maths Results returned the formatting to be as I wanted it.
