Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/357

when I write something like this:

$$
x * y = x * (y_1 + y_2 + \cdots + y_n)
$$

it says MD037/no-space-in-emphasis: Spaces inside emphasis markers. But it's just * in LaTex block, and I think this should be fixed :)

Hi, there's a very similar problem with * within a LaTeX block.

Some text $a * b$ some *highlighted* text.

Text between the first * (within the LaTeX expression) and the second * (starting the highlighted text) gets underlined as an error MD037.

By the way, thanks for doing this, it's an awesome tool :)
