fix: improve handling of math and diagrams

Block math in body can now be wrapped in "<div>$$...$$</div>" tags
Inline math in body can now be wrapping in "`$...$`" backticks
Diagrams can now be created without shortcodes: "```mermaid ... ```"

+title: Writing technical content in Academic
+date: 2019-07-12
+math: true
+diagram: true
+---
+
+Academic is designed to give technical content creators a seamless experience. You can focus on the content and Academic handles the rest.
+
+Highlight your code snippets, take notes on math classes, and draw diagrams from textual representation.
+
+On this page, you'll find some examples of the types of technical content that can be rendered with Academic.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Code
+
+Academic supports a Markdown extension for highlighting code syntax. You can enable this feature by toggling the `highlight` option in your `config/_default/params.toml` file.
+
+    ```python
+    import pandas as pd
+    data = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
+    data.head()
+    ```
+
+renders as
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+data = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
+data.head()
+```
+
+### Math
+
+Academic supports a Markdown extension for $\LaTeX$ math. You can enable this feature by toggling the `math` option in your `config/_default/params.toml` file or by adding `math: true` to your page front matter.
+
+Note that math blocks should be wrapped with `<div>...</div>` and inline math wrapped with `<span>...</span>` as otherwise your math will be parsed as Markdown.
+
+```html
+<div>$$
+\gamma_{n} = \frac{ 
+\left | \left (\mathbf x_{n} - \mathbf x_{n-1} \right )^T 
+\left [\nabla F (\mathbf x_{n}) - \nabla F (\mathbf x_{n-1}) \right ] \right |}
+{\left \|\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n}) - \nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n-1}) \right \|^2}
+$$</div>
+```
+
+renders as `$\gamma_{n} = \frac{\mathbf x_{n}}{y}$`  $\gamma_{n} = \frac{\mathbf x_{n}}{y}$
+
+<div>
+$$\gamma_{n} = \frac{ \left | \left (\mathbf x_{n} - \mathbf x_{n-1} \right )^T \left [\nabla F (\mathbf x_{n}) - \nabla F (\mathbf x_{n-1}) \right ] \right |}{\left \|\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n}) - \nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n-1}) \right \|^2}$$
+</div>
+
+### Diagrams
+
+Academic supports a Markdown extension for diagrams. You can enable this feature by toggling the `diagram` option in your `config/_default/params.toml` file or by adding `diagram: true` to your page front matter.
+
+An example **flowchart**:
+
+    ```mermaid
+    graph TD;
+      A-->B;
+      A-->C;
+      B-->D;
+      C-->D;
+    ```
+
+renders as
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD;
+  A-->B;
+  A-->C;
+  B-->D;
+  C-->D;
+```
+
+An example **sequence diagram**:
+
+    ```mermaid
+    sequenceDiagram
+      participant Alice
+      participant Bob
+      Alice->John: Hello John, how are you?
+      loop Healthcheck
+          John->John: Fight against hypochondria
+      end
+      Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail...
+      John-->Alice: Great!
+      John->Bob: How about you?
+      Bob-->John: Jolly good!
+    ```
+
+renders as
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+  participant Alice
+  participant Bob
+  Alice->John: Hello John, how are you?
+  loop Healthcheck
+      John->John: Fight against hypochondria
+  end
+  Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail...
+  John-->Alice: Great!
+  John->Bob: How about you?
+  Bob-->John: Jolly good!
+```
+
+An example **Gantt diagram**:
+
+    ```mermaid
+    gantt
+      dateFormat  YYYY-MM-DD
+      section Section
+      A task           :a1, 2014-01-01, 30d
+      Another task     :after a1  , 20d
+      section Another
+      Task in sec      :2014-01-12  , 12d
+      another task      : 24d
+    ```
+
+renders as
+
+```mermaid
+gantt
+  dateFormat  YYYY-MM-DD
+  section Section
+  A task           :a1, 2014-01-01, 30d
+  Another task     :after a1  , 20d
+  section Another
+  Task in sec      :2014-01-12  , 12d
+  another task      : 24d
+```
+
+### Task lists

+You can even write your todo lists in Academic too:
+
+- [x] Write math example
+- [x] Write diagram example
+- [ ] Do something else
