Complex LaTex expressions cause a build failure

[aigoncharov]

Complex LaTex expressions like this one:

$$ \frac{{n \choose k} {N - n \choose m - k}}{{N \choose m}} $$

are parsed as njk templates first, which leads to an njk error - it tries to treat {{}} as an njk expression.

The error:

[11ty] Original error stack trace: Template render error: (./src/site/notes/Math/Probability/Hypergeometric probability.md) [Line 6, Column 10]
[11ty]   expected variable end

It could be fixed by:

1. Setting "markdownTemplateEngine" to false in .eleventy.js
2. Removing "templateEngineOverride" from src/site/notes/notes.json

I am not submitting a PR because I am not sure if my use case is niche or how it could affect other digital gardens. Feel free to close the issue. I merely wanted other poor soul to be able to find it by the error name in search.

Similar to #143 and #271 - so that's now at least three of us who have hit this issue

Thank you for finding a solution!

If you see it again with the site update, it might be caused by a minification error. To fix it add "continueOnParseError: true" to your minification config. See https://github.com/aigoncharov/first-and-only-brain/commit/774c7ed54aa012373a45b6bc75b8c29e56be83b4
