Escape LaTeX math with Liquid "raw" tags?

[drscotthawley]

This is a Feature Request.

At the request of @hamelsmu in PR github/covid19-dashboard#89, I'm opening this Issue to see if there could be automatic support for LaTeX equations in nbdev such that they don't generate conflicts with Liquid (for Fastpages) later.

Could you make it so that LaTeX equations (in text cells) such as

$$ ... $$

gets automatically replaced with

{{% raw %}}
$$ ... $$
{{% endraw %}}

?

Not sure if this would introduce problems elsewhere. However, it would help with Fastpages supporting seeming 'innocuous' math equations (pun intended) such as in this covid-19 dashboard notebook github/covid19-dashboard#89

Perhaps some command line switch like --liquid could be used to let nbdev know that its output is intended for use with Liquid.

Added. Hope it will be enough to solve your issue.
