MathJax

[imabot2]

I'm using MathJax with your wonderfull parser. I already read the issue #369 and followed the recommandation on erusev/parsedown-extra#81.

It works fine, here is a preview of the result : Derivative rules

My problem is that I have to escape MarkDown characters to avoid problems. I noticed that with editors like Jupyter Notebook, you don't have too.

Instead of

$$ Q_{V_A} = 3 $$

I have to write :

$$ Q\_{V\_A} = 3 $$

I also have to escape inline markup \\( and \\) which is a bit tedious.

What is your recommandation to overcome these issues ?

For this specific case, I think it should work okay:

In general the best action would be to have an extension to Parsedown prevent the parsing of things inside mathjax delimiters.
I think that this shouldn't be done in Parsedown core – since in general, markdown should work inside $$ and other mathjax delimiters. Having it not work might be surprising for those not using mathjax.
