Feature request: optionally disable katex in markdown

Consider the following string:

We made $4500 and then $4600 the next month

Solara renders this as:

We can manually escape $ ahead of time, but it is a complex procedure. Only pairs of $ render as math, and double-$$ pairs on their own lines. Ideally, we can just disable math output if we know it doesn't apply.

Also, since VSCode doesn't render math text anyway, this escaping produces visible backslashes in that environment:

Edit: Escaped dollars show their backslashes in the browser too. So it seems there is no way to properly render the sentence above in markdown?

So it seems the only way to get a uniform behavior is to allow users to disable math mode in browser.

Start by tracing Solara's browser-side Markdown rendering and how KaTeX math is enabled. Reproduce the dollar-amount example, then determine how an option to disable math mode should affect browser output while preserving ordinary Markdown rendering; done means the sentence renders consistently without unintended math formatting.
