Description
If I write
$$f(kx,ka)
\cases{\frac12$
}$$
it is parsed correctly. However, if the \gt in the last line is changed to >, so that is reads
$$f(kx,ka)
\cases{ f(x,a),&if $p>\frac12$
}$$
I get a complete mess. A screen shot is attached.

Reproduce the equation in MacDown, comparing the final line with the literal > against the version using \gt. Start from MacDown's math parsing or rendering entry point; done means the literal > version renders the same intended cases expression instead of becoming corrupted.
