Description
Broken syntax:
$$
\begin{align}
&1 + 1
\end{align}
$$
Working syntax:
\begin{align}
&1 + 1
\end{align}
This has the disadvantage that the great vscode equation preview (which works for the latter example), doesn't work for the only syntax which quarto will compile documents using.

Research direction
Reproduce the two LaTeX snippets in Quarto, comparing the $$ math-cell form with the standalone align form. Trace how Quarto handles align blocks inside math cells; done means the reported align syntax compiles in Quarto while retaining the stated preview behavior.
