As a software dude I can see you wrote a regex, I just can't find out what you're trying to match.

Pardon my denseness, but is this sarcasm? Since that is a TeX snippet.

Why would a RegEx start with a $?

[–] RamblingPanda 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it is. I'm just working with what I have.

Heeyy... So when you need to express something more, well, delicate than just code, you need to use math symbols. For that you can use tex expressions. Modern markdown supports it: just copy and paste the $..$ part into any render engine

I'm scared. I think I'll generate some backend spec to calm down.

Nooo... You should write spec and generate code, not the other way around
