Markdown $formula$ support

[HaleTom]

I'm looking for to syntax highlight complex LaTeX equations written inside markdown like:

$ x^2 $
or
$$ x^2 $$

Would / could this plugin support math blocks in markdown?

Alternately, does it define syntax highlighting that I could use with something like this:

    "" Define certain regions
    " Block math. Look for "$$[anything]$$"
    syn region math start=/\$\$/ end=/\$\$/
    " inline math. Look for "$[not $][anything]$"
    syn match math_block '\$[^$].\{-}\$'

    "" Actually highlight those regions.
    hi link math Statement

This plugin does not contain syntax highlighting for LaTeX. The syntax highlighting for LaTeX is part of the standard vim distribution.
