It appears that many markdown parsers supporting LaTeX allow the opening and closing $ or $$ to be on different lines, but it doesn't appear to work in md4c.
To reproduce:
this works: $$ a + b $$ but this doesn't:
$$
a + b
$$
Expected rendering: here's an example from stackedit.io, source on the left, rendered on the right.
Actual result in md4c: the LaTeX on the first line results in the callbacks I would expect (having set MD_FLAG_LATEXMATHSPANS), but the other LaTeX doesn't. In particular, it looks like it sees the pair of dollars on line 2 as an opening and closing pair, and similarly for the pair on line 4.
