Description
Cc: @bradystroud @taineriley1
Hi guys,
Would be great if there was an easy way to insert math equations into rules for any accounting formulas etc. For example the below formula doesn't look good on the rule https://www.ssw.com.au/rules/return-on-investment, and should be represented as a Business Value / Effort.

Figure: Not ideal maths representation
Options:
I'm not exactly sure how this could be done, but here are some investigation options:
- Gatsby markdown plugin: https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-remark-mathjax/
- Some embedding tools, which are more likely to break, e.g. www.sciweavers.org :
Ideally we could also represent this using Netlify when editing rules, and there is an open GitHub issue about this: https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/issues/1279
Thanks
Jack
