ToC inserting backslashes before LaTeX commands in headings

[AzureArmageddon]

What's the problem

Using LaTeX in my headings is causing the extension to forcibly insert a backslash before the command (since I have the extension set to update ToC on save). This has the consequence of the ToC line rendering incorrectly as the command gets escaped. This goes for any LaTeX command.

Input Heading

## $\LaTeX$ and Stuff

Output ToC Line

- [$\\LaTeX$ and Stuff](latex-and-stuff)

What's the expected result

Input Heading

## $\LaTeX$ and Stuff

Output ToC line

- [$\LaTeX$ and Stuff](latex-and-stuff)

How to reproduce

See above.

Other information

I'm not sure how to get my VS Code environment information.

Thanks for the feedback.

This is a known bug due to a fundamental change in this extension. I agree with you that the LaTeX commands should not be escaped. However, I haven't got enough time to look into it so it remains until now.

Let's track this in #903.
