Description
From @yesennes on July 26, 2018 15:27
My Setup
- Operating System: CentOS 7
- App Version: 2.10.5
- I have tested with the latest version
- I can simulate the issue easily
Description
It is impossible to escape the \( sequence, making it impossible to send the text "\(a\)" in rocket chat without strange formatting.
Current Behavior
The \( is detected as the start of katex, and everything inside of it is formatted as katex. No amount of quotes or backslashes could disable this behavior
Expected Behavior
Some text, like \\( should create a literal \( without start katex formatting.
