Description
- VSCode Version: 1.28.0
- VSCode-R Version: v0.6.2
- OS Version: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Use two reserved markdown characters in LaTeX math blocks in the same line
- Syntax highlighting does not consider the LaTeX math notation and applies styling
Example of issue (with totally made up math)
Expected something more like this
TBH, simply catching the use of LaTeX and removing the syntax highlighting between paired $..$ or $$..$$ would be a great improvement.
Example text
For each $x_i$, consider all $x_i < k$.
Is $x*2$ greater than $y*2$?
$$
y_i = m * x_i + b
$$
