Oops… just as I was hopeful, I just found a runaway situation with this 
example:

Both equations give the same result, and you may choose whichever is more convenient for a given problem. *F\~ $\perp$ ~*means\\\\\\\\\\\\ the\\\\\\\\\\\\ component\\\\\\\\\\\\ of\\\\\\\\\\\\ $F$\\\\\\\\\\\\ perpendicular\\\\\\\\\\\\ to\\\\\\\\\\\\ $r$,\\\\\\\\\\\\ while*r~ $\perp$ \~* means the component of $r$ perpendicular to $F_.$

The was from an erroneous conversion from .doc to .docx to .md. But 
basically if you try to apply pandoc -f markdown -t markdown to it, the 
long line of escape sequence \\\\... will be getting longer. (The “source” 
has such long sequence of \\\... perhaps because I use pandoc as linter 
from time to time and didn’t look too carefully in this file.)
