The RMarkdown syntax highlighting does not seem to recognize \( \) and \[ \] as math delimiters.
Here is an example Rmd file to illustrate, and I have attached a screenshot of how the syntax highlighting looks.

title: "Sublime Text 4 R-IDE Rmd syntax highlighting problem"
author: "Randy Cragun"

Correct syntax highlighting:
* Inline equation: $\overline{Y}_{g,t}$
* Display equations:
$$\overline{Y}_{g,t}$$
\begin{equation}\overline{Y}_{g,t}\end{equation}
Possibly incorrect highlighting: inline equation: \(Y_{g,t}\)
Incorrect highlighting:
* Inline equation: \(\overline{Y}_{g,t}\) (everything after _ is treated as italic, which is possibly a second issue)
* Display equation:
\[\overline{Y}_{g,t}\]
I left two line breaks at the end of the file to illustrate that the highlighting suggests that there is an un-closed delimiter at the end.
\( \) should be treated as math delimiters. RMarkdown supports it. Pandoc supports it. Furthermore, $ $ is supposedly deprecated (see this answer, for example). I think the problem of underscore being treated as starting a section of italics will be solved if \( \) and \[ \] are recognized as math delimiters.
My system:
Sublime Text: build 4107
R-IDE: v0.2.7
LSP: v1.3.1 (rlang server enabled globally)
Package Control: v3.4.1
Windows 10 Home: version 20H2
I made no modifications to R-IDE or LSP settings after installing
