Not a bug, but a support question.
Why does $ sometimes render as dollar sign successfully, but other times require escaping? 
I used solely `$` to write the dollar sign at  https://math.codidact.com/posts/288038. As you can see, the `$` rendered the dollar sign perfectly under the heading GOLD BALL DRAW.

But under GOLD BALL JACKPOT DRAW, some  `$` failed to render as a dollar sign, while some $ did. 

#### On the same post, why does `$` sometimes work, and sometimes fail?
