Describe the Bug
[6:39: Failed to parse Markdown file "/home/projects/mklikxjow.github/src/pages/posts/index.md": Could not parse expression with acorn: Expecting Unicode escape sequence \uXXXX] { reason: 'Could not parse expression with acorn: Expecting Unicode escape sequence \\uXXXX',
I'm not sure what about my markdown file is throwing off the compiler. I haven't noticed anything wrong on my end so I just wanted to submit this issue incase this is a bug on the compiler side.

@poutingemoji The problem in this instance, mate, is it seems you're trying to escape * when you're already inside the {}. You can retrieve the values as {frontmatter.value} /* 2 to print the value and equation, or you can do {frontmatter.value * 2} to print the result, but the actual math function will not function with an escaped operator \*.
I'm going to close this as Astro Flavored Markdown has been deprecated to be officially removed in Astro 2.0.0. Check out our Markdown guide for the most up-to-date way to work with Markdown in Astro.
