Description

I like how jekyll-spaceship bundles and configures MathJax; it makes my life easier. However, since I installed spaceship, when I use a dollar sign $, it automatically assumes I'm going to be in LaTeX mode---even if I escape it, \$. I know there is an option for MathJax called processEscapes that allows me to escape the dollar sign when I want to have a dollar sign (instead of enter LaTeX mode), but I'm not sure how to enable this with jekyll-spaceship.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the jekyll spaceship documentation for MathJax configuration. If processEscapes is not documented, examine the plugin's code to see if it passes the option to MathJax. Then propose a configuration parameter or document the existing method.
