Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/7399

Description

In the world of Markdown, it is common practice to use "$...$" for inline math equations and "...$$" for block math equations. This feature is widely supported, including by GitHub. It provides great convenience for users and also enhances the consistency of AppFlowy with standard Markdown conventions.

like this mc^2

and

 mc^2  

Impact

users that use math equations

Additional Context

Currently you have to write inline math equation in plain text then select it to make it look like equation, which is rather inconvient. This feature also solves that problem!

Why is this closed? I didn't find the commit that support this feature. And I just tried appflowy 0.10.3, it's not supported yet.

[EDIT]: Then I tried the web version, $ is supported but is not. After insert , I cannot insert the second without typing something in between.

thanks for explaining. But I am still puzzled about the fact that the latest commit chore: bump version 0.9.9 is 2 months ago. So do you mean the update code doesn't belong to this repo?
