I wanted to do something like
>! \begin{align}
>! x &= 42
>! \end{align}
(Unfortunately even this code block is badly formated! Why is it indented this way?)
but the result is just poor
! \begin{align} >! x &= 42 >! \end{align}

A work around is to put all the math on one "line".
>! \begin{align} x &= 42 \end{align}
Gives
\begin{align} x &= 42 \end{align}
I think the reason is that to solve other bugs, once you enter a math environment the MarkDown stop getting processed. So the >! that appears before and after x&= 42 are considered by the software as part of the math environment, and not part of MarkDown.

$\begingroup$ In so far as the "other bugs" are concerned: otherwise you will have to type two backslashes
\\in the place where one would've done (for example,\\{for open brace).
