Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Hi!

Firstly, thanks for the work on Vale. I'm using it with my blog and it has helped me to identify countless errors in my prose. 🙏

I have come upon something puzzling. In a Markdown file I have the following:

<!-- vale off -->
Consider some time series data consisting of \\(n\\) points, \\(y_t = x_t + \epsilon_t\\), where \\(x_t\\) is a smooth signal, \\(\epsilon_t\\) is noise and \\(y_t\\) is the combined noisy sign. If we have observations of \\(y_t\\), how can get back to an estimate of \\(x_t\\)?
<!-- vale on -->

$$\frac{1}{2} \sum\_{t=1}^n (y\_t - x\_t)^2 + \lambda \sum\_{t=2}^{n-1} (x\_{t-1} - 2 x\_t + x\_{t+1})^2.$$

In this case the on/off comments don't work and the spelling of x_t and y_t is highlighted.

If, however, I remove the displayed equation (as below) then the comments work fine.

<!-- vale off -->

<!-- vale on -->

Thanks, Andrew.
