This is very much intended, to be consistent with other inline markup.

Reopen. I changed my mind about this. I don‘t think there is a good reason for this restriction. I might rework the scanning to be more like inline-code, where the padded whitespace is optional and trimmed.

Happy to hear that 8 years later! You can just adapt my PR #25 for it!

I created markdown-it-mathspan that follow the same heuristics for math as backticks do for code. That is actually how I like to write markdown, but I think there is too much reliant on the current behavior of this library (the current behavior is also how most other markdown environments behave).

So I added this option as inlineAllowWhiteSpace and default it to false. Note that this is enabled by default in markdown-it-mathspan, just like code spans.
