Could I have your permission to insert some of your response into the
lon-capa documentation? It seems that the '$' and '$$' methods should be
recommended as LaTeX 'robust' and that the '\(' and '\[' methods could be
explained as supported, but considered as LaTeX 'fragile' with a reference
to consult a LaTeX manual if use of the fragile method results in unexpected
results occur.

Carl,
I would discourage you from going so far as recommending $ and $$. As
explained here:
http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~hildebr/tex/displays.html
$ and $$ are not officially supported in LaTeX. Though they do work,
they are holdovers from TeX/AMS-TeX. The LaTeX equivalents are \(,\) and
\[,\].
