closes #2572
As explained in this issue, Pandoc does by default uses the alternative GFM syntax for math.
In
github_document()
, we choose to keep writing the dollars syntax$$
and$
to avoid any future breakage.In the future, we may add an option to activate the writing of
```math
and$`
if necessary. It seems they were added by Github to handle specific charactershttps://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/writing-mathematical-expressions
