$-sign in Markdown causes strange issue

Markdown:

- [XenForo](https://xenforo.com/): $140+ with one year of upgrades, and $40 per each additional year.

Result:

Removing the first ‘$’ makes it render correctly.

That is firing incorrectly because of the KaTeX parsing. I've got a working build that corrects it, though it requires that inline KaTeX be indicated by wrapping the equation text with $[ and ]$ instead of $ and $. I believe that it's a worthwhile trade-off, but if anyone has a contrary opinion, please let me know.

Actually, upon further consideration, I will use $$ as the starting and ending indicator for inline equations and $$$ for block displayed equations. The block delimiter has precedence because we use a triple backtick to denote the start and end of a block displayed code section.

Thank you for identifying this and I'll get a patch deployed shortly to address this.
