Latex formulas with $ character
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The math formulas work with the <math> tag.

Unfortunately, most people are used to edit in LaTeX form, enclosing the formulas in $ characters. eg: https://crypto.miraheze.org/wiki/Open_Problems:1

Is there a problem with the LaTeX parsing or am I doing it wrong?

There's a few upstream issues about LaTeX characters with Math.

I can have a look to fix the issue but I need a bit of guidance...Do you have a vague idea on why this bug occurs and where should I look?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure. It could be fixed in 1.29, which will be upgrading to soon.

Unfortunately, it would seem as though Math only supports the use of <math>equations</math> instead of $equations$. If needed, I can help setup a tool to replace $ with <math> tags.
