Describe the Bug

Rendering mathematical expressions in Markdown works/worked 1.0.0-beta.31, but it is not working anymore.

My code:

// file.md
<Fragment is:raw>
   $$f(x) = \pm A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{4} + \theta\right)$$
</Fragment>

The output should be: $$f(x) = \pm A \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{4} + \theta\right)$$

But I get an Error:

Could not parse expression with acorn: Expecting Unicode escape sequence \uXXXX

Hello! I just wanted to link this issue with https://github.com/withastro/compiler/issues/436, which was also created between betas 31 and 33

Hey @victor0x16 and @sylvinus! Astro 1.0 has been released and we no longer run .md files through the Astro compiler!

This should make things like this much easier, and I can confirm that this issue is now fixed. See working repro.
