Well, dollar signs are mentioned (briefly) in the Sphinx documentation, in the part about writing extensions. So we could write an extension for Sphinx which replaces "$" with "`", or optionally replaces "$blah$" with ":math:`blah`". I don't want to make it too fancy, so it ought to be a pretty simple regular expression search and replace. How does that sound? More precisely: we can have a Sphinx extension with a configurable option; set one way, it will replace "$blah$" with "`blah`" (and replace "\$" with "$"). Set the other way, it will replace "$blah$" with ":math:`blah`" (and replace "\$" with "$"). What else should we do? Do we have to deal with "$$ blah $$"? "\ [ blah \]"? I don't want this to be too involved, or we'll end up writing a LaTeX compiler.
