New delimiter syntax for inline mathematical expressions

We are introducing a new method for incorporating LaTeX-based mathematical expressions inline within Markdown. In addition to the existing delimiters, we now support delimiting LaTeX-style math syntax with dollar signs and backticks (for example, $`\sqrt{3}`$). This new syntax is especially useful if the mathematical expressions you're writing contain characters that overlap with Markdown syntax.

To learn more about using mathematical expressions within Markdown on GitHub, check out "Writing mathematical expressions" in the GitHub Docs.
