Modify LaTeX delimiter #116

Open drvinceknight opened 4 years ago

Thoughout the first part of the book students are encouraged to use \\(\\) for LaTeX delimiters as this is technically LaTeX and $ is technically tex https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/410874

However in a couple of places this proves problematic, including the second part of the book with the use of markdown in the VScode plugin and in writing documentation.

It will be simpler to just "accept" the use of $ as the mathematics delimiter.

Another reason to do this is that cocalc doesn't render using LaTeX delimiters:
