Editor math syntax highlighting

[JohnTasto]

The editor syntax highlighting in math sections is rendered just like regular MarkDown, as in underscores are interpreted as emphasis rather than subscripts:

It would be nice if it were styled similar to how GitHub styles LaTeX:

\[
  \begin{aligned}
    A \cup (B_1 \cap B_2 \cap \ldots \cap B_n) &= (A \cap B_1) \cup (A \cap B_2) \cup \ldots \cup (A \cap B_n) \\
    A \cup (B_1 \cap B_2 \cap \ldots \cap B_{n+1}) &= (A \cap B_1) \cup (A \cap B_2) \cup \ldots \cup (A \cap B_{n+1}) \\
    A \cup [(B_1 \cap B_2 \cap \ldots \cap B_n) \cap B_{n+1}] \\
    \space [A \cup (B_1 \cap B_2 \cap \ldots \cap B_n)] \cap (A \cup B_{n+1}) \\
  \end{aligned}
\]

(The \space prefixing the last line is there because KaTeX errored when it began with [)

Hi, @JohnTasto

This extension only deals with the preview part but not the editor part.
So I think you will need some other extensions to style math.

Thanks

The problem is that this is an enhanced feature and not part of regular Markdown - the workaround would be to use a LaTeX code chunk, but that would mean having to write a whole LaTeX file in a code chuck for every formula - and it wouldn't work inline.
