Comment:

 Well, thank you for testing! I also frequently use this, so I totally get
 your problem. What we accept is LaTeX math mode, so just the code used to
 input math, but not all layout/document level LaTeX. Those brackets are
 used to delimit the math mode from the other syntax, even outside of LaTeX
 (like Markdown or HTML documents), to parse/detect the LaTeX math mode
 code. In the visual editor however, we don't need those delimiters. Even
 in popular libraries like KaTeX https://katex.org, this would error, and
 as a result also in editors such as Notion.

 Let's address this in the next release, 7.0, to be a bit more forgiving. I
 don't think it's a critical issue. Happy to consider it in point release
 if we get more reports.
