#### What happened instead
The latex part was not rendered

We need this because, I could then write up articles in markdown entirely without worrying about latex part.

Research direction

Enable Markdown in Jetpack settings and reproduce the issue with the sample markup containing $f(x)$ and $p(A\cup B)$. Trace the Markdown rendering path; done means the Markdown text remains rendered and the inline LaTeX expressions display as LaTeX output.
