Description
Can we start a branch or anything to have another version that supports math inline and display style rendering just like LaTeX syntax?
So this line $f(x) = 1$ or $$ g(x)=2 $$
shall render directly as if typing LaTeX.
I was originally working on letting my self-hosted GitLab server accept LaTeX dollar expressions starting with $ or $$.
This is done by taking dollar as a special char as well as other special chars.
My solution: https://github.com/j7168908jx/commonmarker
Suggested from https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker/issues/80

Research direction
Start by reviewing cmark's existing parsing and rendering entry points, then compare the linked commonmarker solution for handling dollar delimiters. Done means agreeing on the supported inline and display syntax, its output behavior, and coverage for both examples.
