\$ in Latex math formulas is recognized as end of math symbol

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems that pandoc only looks for a $ symbol which has no leading
whitespace to end a latex math environment (eg. $a = b + c$). 
When using an escaped dollar sign (\$) inside a math environment, the
environment is terminated. Pandoc should therefore look if the dollar sign
is escaped before closing the math environment.

`echo "This is a test: $a+b+\$=c$" |pandoc -tlatex` will produce 
`This is a test: +b+$=c$` where $a is skipped althogether

Thanks for pointing this out.  (Note:  the reason $a is skipped in your test is 
that
your shell is interpreting it as an environment variable.  But the problem 
about \$
is genuine.)

Fixed in r1609.
