Description
Hello, this is a very good work, it allows me to OCR PDFs very fast.
When I tried to convert PDF to markdown, the math formulas in PDF are badly OCRed, will you enhance such ability in the future?

Research direction
Start by locating the PDF-to-Markdown conversion and OCR entry points, then inspect how mathematical formulas are currently represented. Define representative formula outputs and add coverage for the expected Markdown result; the work is done when formulas from PDFs are converted accurately and the behavior is tested.
