title: Disable 'TeX math' when using Pandoc
body: <p>How do I disable the TeX stuff when reading Markdown in Pandoc? I have a number of markdown files I am processing, but it chokes on some of them with warnings due to the presence of text that is apparently markdown-esque syntax to use that.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[WARNING] Could not convert TeX math '@#', rendering as TeX:
    @#
     ^
    unexpected '#'
    expecting "\\bangle", "\\brace", "\\brack", "\\choose", "\\displaystyle", "{", letter, digit, ".", "\\mbox", "\\text", "\\textbf", "\\textit", "\\textrm", "\\textsf", "\\texttt", "\\bm", "\\boldsymbol", "\\mathbb", "\\mathbf", "\\mathbfcal", "\\mathbffrak", "\\mathbfit", "\\mathbfscr", "\\mathbfsfit", "\\mathbfsfup", "\\mathbfup", "\\mathbold", "\\mathcal", "\\mathds", "\\mathfrak", "\\mathit", "\\mathrm", "\\mathscr", "\\mathsf", "\\mathsfit", "\\mathsfup", "\\mathtt", "\\mathup", "\\pmb", "\\symbf", "\\texttt", "\\sqrt", "\\surd", "\\mspace", "\\hspace", "\\mathop", "\\mathrel", "\\mathbin", "\\mathord", "\\mathopen", "\\mathclose", "\\mathpunct", "\\phantom", "\\boxed", "\\overset", "\\stackrel", "\\underset", "\\frac", "\\tfrac", "\\dfrac", "\\binom", "\\genfrac", "\\substack", "_", "^", "\\begin", "\\ensuremath", "\\bigg", "\\Bigg", "\\big", "\\Big", "\\biggr", "\\Biggr", "\\bigr", "\\Bigr", "\\biggl", "\\Biggl", "\\bigl", "\\", "\\left", "\\not", "!", "'", "''", "'''", "''''", "*", "+", ",", "-", ".", "/", ":", ":=", ";", "&lt;", "=", "&gt;", "?", "@", "~", "\\operatorname" or end of input
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since I am not using any sort of math or fancy typesetting in these texts, I'd rather disable that kind of interpretation rather than trying to figure out the right way to escape the sequences that do in fact trigger it.</p>
  
  <p>But if that isn't possible, I'd love to know the 'correct' way to escape whatever the right way to escape the @ is. Probably '@'? Or is there more TeX-esque syntax I am not aware of?</p>
