Cannot render escaped $ symbol when I turn on Math extension

[Ken0sis]

Problem Description

• Frequently, I need to write dollar signs in financial reports. To do so, I normally escape the dollar sign by writing "\$", and my markdown editor would interpret that as a dollar sign, rather than the start of inline math.
• If I turn on the Math extension in QLMarkdown, then it seems to render "\$" as just "$", which means it reads the financial number as inline math. However, the benefit of turning it on is that QLMarkdown can now render inline math.
• If I turn off the Math extension in QLMarkdown, then it seems to render "\$" correctly as an escaped dollar sign, which allows me to write financial numbers. However, I would lose the ability to render inline math if I turn off the Math extension.

Is this a bug or is there a configuration I need to change, so that QLMarkdown can render inline math AND render escaped dollar sign?

Thanks!

Hi Ken0sis,

I submitted a pull request to this project a few months ago that changed how it processes $ symbols. So I feel responsible for that feature ;) Can you provide an example of what you mean? I tried just now to see what you meant, and was unable. I'm using the latest version 1.0.17.
