I've run into an issue, using RStudio version 0.96.330 on Ubuntu 12.04.

I've attached a simple R Markdown file which generates a table, followed by an equation. When I "knit HTML" - no problems.

However, if I apply custom CSS as described in the document Customizing Markdown Rendering, the equation is not rendered (i.e. is displayed as text). There's a full description of how I used custom CSS at this blog post.

If I do not use the custom rendering function but instead, simply include the custom CSS as HTML style tags at the top of the R Markdown file, the inline equation is rendered correctly.

This issue does not occur using display equations (the $$...$$ syntax).

   Neil,

   Thanks for reporting and I was able to reproduce this as well. I've filed a bug and we'll take a look.

   Neil,

   Taking a further look, this is actually a bug in the Markdown package and we've asked the maintainer (Jeffrey Horner) to look into it.

   Thanks,

   Josh
