R Markdown is showing some unexpected behavior when math mode is part of a list:
---
title: "Reproducible list/math error"
output:
html_document:
df_print: paged
---
The simple markup below seems correct but produces
* $\beta$ in the beggining is fine
* $\beta$ in the second line strangely forces a new line, and again if $\phi$ appears later
+ While a line with only text is fine,
+ $\beta$ in the beggining of a line does nothing, and
+ $\beta$ sublist is fine even when $\omega$ drops in for a visit
* Can someone tell me what's going on?
Please?
Which produces this output when I preview or knit to HTML (knitting to PDF using LaTeX produces correct output, but that's not the final format needed):
Any ideas what I've done wrong, or why math mode is triggering new lines?
