bracket syntax `\(\)\[\]` for math problematic
Description
Here's another issue with the bracket syntax: \[
and \]
are actually valid Markdown characters (see Markdown definition here), rendering to [
and ]
, respectively. The escaping is to set brackets apart from Markdown links à la [abc](https://example.com)
. Markdown formatters like prettier or mdformat escape brackets in various places, accidentally producing Gitea math. (See here for the corresponding mdformat bug.)
Related to https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/27602/.
Edit: I've surveyed math syntaxes and performance on GitHub, Gitea, GitLab.. Gitea's bracket-syntax is unique and hence not compatible. The backticked syntax is sorely missing from Gitea, especially given its great performance on the other platforms.
