Wim,

What's happening is that Textile (or rather, RedCloth) is parsing the
math before jsmath gets a chance to do it's thing. I use Markdown,
which has backslash escapes. So, for example, if I want:

$rb_k + b_e > c$

I need

$rb\_k + b\_e > c$

instead. Markdown will take out the backslashes, leaving the original
equation for jsmath to parse. I'm not sure how to escape properly in
Textile. While there's a <notextile> tag, it converts things like
carats and equal signs into HTML entities, so it's no-go for jsmath.
