ReText ignores LaTeX equations declared by inline $...$ blocks

[N0rbert]

Steps to reproduce:

• prepare text Markdown document with some LaTeX equations inside the inline $ ... $ block:

# Doing Math

Simple inline math is rendered as is $a^2 + b^2 = 
c^2$.

But LaTeX equation is rendered correctly:

\begin{equation}
J(\theta) = \frac 1 2 \sum_{i=1}^m (h_\theta(x^{(i)})-y^{(i)})^2
\end{equation}

Expected result:

• ReText renders math inside inline $ ... $ blocks. This behavior is expected to get compatibility with RMarkdown and other Markdown dialects. For example VNote renders this correctly, but fails with \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} math.

  

Actual result:

• ReText does not render math inside inline $...$ block and shows it as is.

  

Note: I'm running ReText 7.0.3 (installed with sudo pip3 install ReText) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS amd64.

Hi!

You need to add mathjax to your extensions list as documented in the wiki.

Added mathjax to extensions. ReText part is fixed. Thank you, mitya57! Now I can use it as Rmd and bookdown editor.
