latex footnotes in equations not rendering properly

latex footnotes in equations not rendering properly

If I have a LaTeX equation like...

\[ 1 + 1 \rightarrow 2 \footnote{usually} \]

This renders well in pdfTeX, etc. but pandoc chokes on it.

It says:

  ghtarrow 2\footnote{usually
                     ^
  unexpected "{"
  expecting "%", "\\label", "\\nonumber" or whitespace

Bug or no bug?

Re: latex footnotes in equations not rendering properly

Our texmath library tries to render math into a
variety of math formats.  It can't handle footnotes.
I don't see that changing -- there isn't a way to
put a footnote in mathml, for example, as far as
I'm aware.

So I'd say this is out of scope.
