Re: Compiling markdown to html not working with latex math accents

[John MACFARLANE <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

If you just convert to HTML with no options, pandoc will try
to "fake" the math with unicode.  It can only do that in
simple cases, and complex roots, fractions, etc. defeat it,
so it just gives you the raw TeX.

I recommend using mathjax or katex if you target HTML.
See the manual for more on this.
