Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/597

With the usage of LaTex formulars in markdown text and multiple subscripts in the formular a false positive of the MD037- Spaces inside emphasis markers can be created with the usage of additional italic words.

Following is an example for creating a false-positive under the describe circumstances:

$E_{K_1}(M) = C$ using _ParamName_ $M$ creating _Result_ $C$ with usage of $K_1$

This issue was found in the VS-Code extension version v0.48.1

FYI, the syntax is not part of Markdown. Support for that is provided in the extension via the texmath plugin. However, rules that don't use the parser won't benefit from that. I'll have a look.

Since GitHub also supports math in Markdown, I'd appreciate if math support could be enabled :)

Same issue here, but with multiple multiplication marks:
$ x * y * z$

same issue here, not just with this rule but with a number of other rules:

src/plonk/zkpm.md:58:7 MD011/no-reversed-links Reversed link syntax [(\omega h)[(a(h) + \beta S_{\sigma1}(h) + \gamma)(b(h) + \beta S_{\sigma2}(h) + \gamma)(c(h) + \beta S_{\sigma3}(h) + \gamma)]]
