I am experimenting with inline math using the rstudioaddin menu, which to me seems to be standard inline R Markdown math. I'm just running the bookdown-demo, but nothing seems to work.
Here is my code snippet (well, actually YiHui's):
---
title: "A Minimal Book Example"
author: "Yihui Xie"
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
site: bookdown::bookdown_site
output: bookdown::gitbook
documentclass: book
bibliography: [book.bib, packages.bib]
biblio-style: apalike
link-citations: yes
github-repo: rstudio/bookdown-demo
description: "This is a minimal example of using the bookdown package to write a book. The output format for this example is bookdown::gitbook."

# Prerequisites
This is a _sample_ book written in **Markdown**. You can use $E=mc^2$ anything that Pandoc's Markdown supports, e.g., a math equation $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.
This is what is generated, both with "knitr" and with "render":

Everything else in the demo works well. I've similarly put together my own book, and formatting, rendering, citations, everything but the inline math seems to work.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how I might resolve this. Thanks
