The issue is related with the inline query prefix "=". Go to settings > Dataview and change the default "=" to another one (for example dv).

equals  =  used more frequently in  inline block, It could be possible change default value to  another  char?  such  as js inline query prefix is  $= ,  inline query prefix  should be  /=  or something else like that. Just for a little advice.

Because I realized something like ==highlight== could not work correctly.

Can you explain the fix you want to see implemented? The option to change it exists so changing the defaults doesn't make sense to me since this might break a lot of users' workflows.

I ran into the same issue. I had `==` as part of my text and it took me quite some time to figure out what the problem was. From the above, I now understand that the only way of solving this is by changing the default inline query prefix. I changed it to ===.

I think it would be a good idea to not have a simple = as the default prefix, given that the occurrence of it in inline code is rather common. Setting === as the default prefix could prevent the issues associated with this.

I also just stumbled across this and my solution is now that I set the inline prefix to {dataview}: and the inline JS prefix to {dataviewjs}:. This is consistent with the block style queries and is unlikely to be typed by accident :sweat_smile:
