Dollar signs (even when escaped) cause failure #124

Open dfarnand opened 4 years ago

dfarnand commented 4 years ago

Dollar signs in the document seem to break the confl_create_post_from_Rmd process in weird ways, resulting in an error: Error parsing xhtml: Unexpected close tag </ac:structured-macro>; expected </p>.

I've narrowed it down to specific examples, which I think relate to how latex math is detected and handled.

Breaks

\$1

\$2
Works, but tries to put latex math in the first paragraph 

\$1 \$2

\$2

Double-escaping avoids the error, but makes the dollar signs appear as \$ on confluence.

Works

\\$1

\\$2

I haven't found a consistent workaround yet, except for uploading the document without dollar signs and manually adding them in via the confluence editor.

Encountered this error message when using the gt package as well:

gt::fmt_currency(..., currency = "USD")

Super annoying and confusing. :( For me, a single instance of $ worked, but three of them broke the upload with the above error. Tried &dollar;, without success. It turns out $0.028 and \$0.028 break, \\$0.028 works, but produces \$0.028 on the Confluence page, while \$ 0.028 (space inserted between the $ sign and the number) seems to be working.
