problems with wrapping lines containing latex code

After

But the extra \ introduced by WrapRmd creates problems for rendering the equations:

WrapRmd runs the markdown through common mark which escapes the \’s. I would appreciate any input from people who want to help develop a way of unescaping the backslashes or finding a way to keep common mark from escaping them in the first place.

I think the approach of using a regex for LaTeX similar to what was done for cross-references in this PR would work.

 re_latex <-  "((?!=[$])\\$[^$]*\\$)"
stringr::str_extract("$\alpha + \beta$ is 3", re_latex)
#> [1] "$\alpha + \beta$"

Please insert customary joke about solving a problem with regex 😀
