make latex escapes `$` which breaks math rendering

[NateZimmer]

So after some config, the following generates properly in one's html export

Test.md

## Equation Test
$$
myEquation=\frac{num}{denom}
$$

Will render properly with mathjax when one does make.bat html

However , when one does make.bat latex

the generated latex is the following:

\chapter{Test}
\label{\detokenize{test:test}}
\$\$
myEquation=\textbackslash{}frac\{num\}\{denom\}
\$\$

Which naturally doesn't render correctly since the $ is escaped. Any ideas?
