Math blocks can break syntax highlighting about markdown.tmbundle HOT 5 CLOSED

Two things are at play here:

MathJax is not part of the markdown spec so excluding them from italics can't happen by default. This bundle only supports the base markdown, the MathJax bundle could add a match for the blocks and exclude italics inside them if desired.

The example provided does not happen with the grammar from this bundle, we require an ending to the italics exist on the same line. The grammar at fault here is in the Markdown (Github) bundle which is more permissive about where italics are allowed.

This might have been already fixed in the Github Markdown bundle, see textmate/GitHub-Markdown.tmbundle#21

@noniq Thanks for that. I will check it out.

@fonnesbeck I had missed the @noniq pull request being accepted so my bundle was outdated and I hadn't deployed this change. However it did not actually solve the issue due to some interactions with the rule and the standard italics rule. I've made a new pull request at textmate/GitHub-Markdown.tmbundle#24 which contains some fixes and somewhat improves your use case. It will still match in an undesired fashion but will no longer extend outside the current line. It could also be confused by two MathJax strings on the same line but would still not persist the error past the line.

@infininight Thanks, I will test the new PR, which I see is already merged.
