escaped square brackets in markdown converts as math instead of normal brackets #2707

You're right.
At one point in the (now perhaps distant) past,
github-flavored markdown support `\[...\]` for LaTeX
math.
I said at the time that this was a terrible idea,
because `\[` is needed for an escaped bracket.
Maybe they finally got the message.
Anyway, I can change this so `tex_math_single_backslash`
is not default for `markdown_github`. In the mean time,
you can work around it by using
-f markdown_github-tex_math_single_backslash

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't this convert as normal brackets?
