 The wordpress.org readme parser is stripping backslashes / treating them
 as escape characters.

 example text:
 {{{
 Additionally, you can use native mathjax syntax -- $$E=mc^2$$ or
 \(E=mc^2\).
 }}}

 this is rendered as:
 {{{
 Additionally, you can use native mathjax syntax -- $$E=mc^2$$ or (E=mc^2).
 }}}
