Equations extension

[jeroen]

It would be very cool to support math in cmark and on Github markdown documents. I suppose on Github you would conditionally have to include mathjax in the html header.

/cc r-lib/roxygen2#520

Looks like GitHub released math support in May: https://github.blog/2022-05-19-math-support-in-markdown/

Will this library be adding the functionality anytime soon? (If not, how did it get added?)

It's added aftwereards (IMO not very great, see also: https://nschloe.github.io/2022/05/20/math-on-github.html)

Will the mathematical expression be added in the GFM spec as an extension of Commonmark or will they stay as an extra syntax available in github markdown files (changing the markdown parsing) but without being specified ?
