Type: Bug

When editing a Markdown file, VS Code will apply LaTeX syntax highlighting to math in double-dollar signs (math blocks), e.g.,

$$
\frac{1}{0} = \infty
$$

will color frac and infty and the numbers.

GitHub Markdown also supports a math code block syntax (the triple-tick syntax; see reference), so the above could be written in GitHub-flavored Markdown as

$$\frac{1}{0} = \infty$$

GitHub will render the above as math, so here's what it looks like in Markdown:

```math
\frac{1}{0} = \infty
`'`

However, VS Code applies no syntax highlighting inside ```math blocks.

It'd be nice if it could apply the same highlighting as double-dollar signs.

Having math block and code-block specific code linting would be also great!
