Since 15.5 gitlab supports inline math surrounded by only dollar signs only: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21757

Their regular expression to avoid treating currencies as math is here

I agree with @kalvdans and think that m2r2 should consider that inline math will be using $...$ instead of `$...$`since it has become the expected behaviour on github and gitlab. This is a blocker for me now as it prevents me from importing a readme.md file used to describe a github package in this package's documentation.

I guess in essence, all it takes is to change this line

inline_math = re.compile(r"\$(.*?)\$")

and then adapt the tests.

What do you think @CrossNox ? 😊
Thanks for the great package anyways!

Any news regarding this issue?

No work done yet, but any time soon I'll do a pull request to support the new style with only dollar signs. It is in the backlog at my workplace.

Pull request up at #62; please try it out @milannnnn and @alexisthual!

We hit https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/389949 preventing some expressions to render correctly in gitlab; the generated mathjax with m2r2 + sphinx looks ok though.

You can get the PR backported to v0.3.2 by writing this in your requirements.txt:
