My Setup

• Operating System: CentOS 7
• App Version: 2.10.5

• [ ] I have tested with the latest version
• [x] I can simulate the issue easily

Description

It is impossible to escape the \\( sequence, making it impossible to send the text "\\\(a\\)" in rocket chat without strange formatting. ### Current Behavior

The \( is detected as the start of katex, and everything inside of it is formatted as katex. No amount of quotes or backslashes could disable this behavior

Expected Behavior

Some text, like \\( should create a literal \( without start katex formatting.

As a temporary workaround, I use the zero width space character between the backslash and the bracket
