I was wondering if it was possible to universally suppress numberings of equations in Franklin, by chance? In particular, it would be awesome if there was a way to have the behavior of KaTeX and/or Franklin mimic the usual LaTeX behavior when using `\[` and `\]`, which, by default, is unnumbered. (While `\begin{equation} ... \end{equation}` should give the equation a number.)
From [this post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-suppress-equation-numbers-in-franklin/73835/6), I know that we can wrap things in `\nonumber` and/or use `\begin{equation*}` and its corresponding `\end{equation*}`, but I have a number of markdown posts that are already written and Iām mostly porting over! While writing a script to convert everything to use `\begin{equation*}` and `\end{equation*}` would be a fun little exercise, it also breaks the standard TeX flow š
Thank you all in advance for the help!

Numbering is not handled by Franklin but by CSS. If you want to fully discard numbering, you can remove [the corresponding CSS](https://github.com/tlienart/FranklinTemplates.jl/blob/981e1143e6872f04a197c8c4fdb11a042a7b1589/src/templates/common/_css/franklin.css#L271-L282) and no number will be shown anywhere (other than those explicitly added via KaTeX e.g. using `\tag`).

Brilliant! Thank you, wow I totally missed that CSS line it seems! š
