The manual is inaccurate. Here is the current check for $ math
delimiters:
(and (not (memq (char-after (1+ (point)))
'(?\s ?\t ?\n ?, ?. ?\;)))
(search-forward "$" nil t 2)
(not (memq (char-before (match-beginning 0))
'(?\s ?\t ?\n ?, ?.)))
(looking-at-p
"\\(\\s.\\|\\s-\\|\\s(\\|\\s)\\|\\s\"\\|'\\|$\\)"))

I don't know if there's a way to express it in a non-boring way in the
manual.
