I am using gitbook with markdown to write my website. And I want to show a piece of latex codes as following.

```
$$
x^2 + y^2 =1 
$$
```

But the double dollar signs $$ disappear on the output html file, just like following

x^2 + y^2 = 1

So how to solve such a problem. Thanks very much.

Shot in the dark as I don't use gitbook, can you escape them? `\$\$` – Phix Feb 26 '19 at 03:10
It can not work, I had tried it. – Huayi Wei Feb 26 '19 at 03:10

I tried your sample markdown in a GitBook (from GitHub) project of my own and there were no issues rendering the dollar signs. – Adam J Limbert Mar 01 '19 at 01:46
