Sorry, I assumed incorrectly that my question was self-explanatory. When
I export the file to PDF, the dollar characters are not regonized as
math delimiters.
Based on the manual I would have expected math delimiters. Referring
again to the manual: "single ‘$’ characters are only recognized as math
delimiters if the enclosed text contains at most two line breaks, is
directly attached to the ‘$’ characters with no whitespace in between,
and if the closing ‘$’ is followed by whitespace, punctuation or a
dash."
Since the equation in my example contains no line breaks, is directly
attached with no whitespace in between the equation and the dollar
signs, and the closing '$' is followed by whitespace, I would expect
math delimiter behaviour.
Removing all whitespace, that is, $z=a+ib,$ does not help.

That is a nice little tool.
I have gotten used to writing '\(' and '\)' instead of '$' for a long
time. I was doing it for the millionth time and decided to take a look
at what the manual says. Hence this post.
Hope this clarifies my question.
