using MathJax inline doesn't behave as expected
I've been experimenting with MathJax and Marked and things are not working out for me as one would expect. The standard delimiters for MathJax are:
inline: $ $ or \( \)
displaystyle: $$ $$ or \[ \]
I believe that the default for the CDN version of MathJax is to use \( \) and \[ \]. However, I've tried all the various options and the only thing that seems to work is $$ $$ for displaystyle. In particular, I cannot seem to typeset any math stuff inline. I've attached a sample text file.

Okay, I see that I have to escape the backslash for the inline stuff. That is, \( and \) need to be used, but this is disappointing. It would be great if you could change the default delimiters to dollar signs.

This isn't my call, it's a function of the MultiMarkdown engine that Marked uses. If you'd like to see a change in the way MathJax is handled, I believe you'll need to file a ticket with Fletcher at http://github.com/fletcher/peg-multimarkdown/issues.
