I have the full content that triggered this error, but I managed to make https://zestedesavoir.github.io/zmarkdown/ stop render the Markdown with only this content (probably the above error is occuring):

zz

$$
\begin{array}{}
t\\
t
\end{array}
$$

The LaTeX equation does not seem to be valid (I get an error when trying to build a LaTeX file containing this equation), but I guess zmd should rather just issue a warning, not an error.

I planned to fix this issue in ZMd 11.2, but unfortunately, it seems to be an upstream problem: KaTeX is throwing an error because of incorrect behavior instead of returning it properly. I need to check if it still fails with newer versions of KaTeX before opening an issue on their bug tracker.
