possible bug with latex / markdown

[jonathan-taylor]

It seems like the strings in the markdown cells may need to be prefixed with r''

I can see the problem within a markdown cells:

$$ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{1}{2} & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$

$$ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{2} & 1 \end{pmatrix} $$

The first one shows up as 2x2 while the second shows up as 1x4 most likely because '' is interpreted as '' unless the string is prefixed by 'r'

Hmm... the backslashes even disappeared in my above posting. There were actually 4 backslashes in the firstline, and 2 in the second line.
