Description: Math plugin for Patitas.

Adds support for LaTeX-style math expressions.

Usage:
    >>> md = create_markdown(plugins=["math"])
    >>> md("Inline: $E = mc^2$")
    '<p>Inline: <span class="math">E = mc^2</span></p>'
    >>> md("$$
E = mc^2
$$")
    '<div class="math-block">E = mc^2</div>'

Syntax:
Inline math: $expression$
Block math: $$expression$$ (on separate lines)

Escaping:
- ``\$`` for literal dollar sign
- Inside code spans, $ is literal

Notes:
