[Plugin: Markdown QuickTags] Breaks mathjax syntax

    I often write with equations, using the mathjax plugin. “Render” converts the escaped brackets \( F = ma \) for inline equations and \[ F = ma \] for displayed equations into their html symbols, so that the brackets print instead of being displayed as mathjax. Would it be possible to avoid this? (Currently I have to render into html and then go back and correct all the equations). Many thanks for an excellent plugin.

    I’m afraid I can’t do much about this directly. MDQT uses PHP Markdown Extra to render, and I don’t believe it has any support for MathJax. You can, however, wrap the syntax in an element with an attribute markdown="0" to avoid rendering anything inside as Markdown.

    e.g. <span markdown="0">equation</span> or <div markdown="0">equation</div>. Let me know if that helps.
