Description

I often have mathematical expressions in Zettel titles, e.g.

# Proof that $1 \neq 0$

…

I thought that links to such a Zettel got rendered correctly in browser in an earlier release but this is not the case any more. Probably has something to do with a change in the used math engine? Can it be made to work again?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how neuron processes math in Zettel titles, specifically the rendering pipeline for links. Look for recent changes in the math engine (e.g., from KaTeX to another) that might have broken inline math in link text. Trace the code from parsing the Markdown title to generating the HTML link.
