Re: Formulas in code blocks

Hi Christoph,

This seems to be a standard feature of MathJax, see also
https://docs.mathjax.org/en/v2.6-latest/start.html#tex-and-latex-input

It has nothing to do with doxygen, but one could argue that doxygen
should prevent MathJax from doing this, unless it is a real formula.
Feel free to file a bug report for this.

Regards,
  Dimitri
