"`${`"

emits a slightly different warning:

[WARNING] Could not convert TeX math ) and the first following non-alphanumeric character. Alternatively, it can be enclosed between "`, rendering as TeX:
  e enclosed between "`
                     ^
  unexpected '"' 


Similar with

`${`

the warning is:

[WARNING] Could not convert TeX math ) and the first following non-alphanumeric character. Alternatively, it can be enclosed between "`, rendering as TeX:
  e enclosed between "`
                     ^
  unexpected '"' 


It seems like it can't handle the dollar character unless it is escaped with the backslash.

Even though raw jpackage.md renders the backslash, man and HTML outputs look correct.

I'm not an expert in pandoc or markdown. If you have any other ideas about how to fix it, I'll be happy to try them out.
