Too bad, they did not use the UNIX tool kit like troff
and eqn which are
described in the paper itself, to restore it. If you were going to the
trouble to make the 'md' file - it would have been just as easy to create
troff source.
In fairness, the Markdown renders directly from the github web UI, but I
agree that using troff/eqn would have been nice. Surely it wouldn't be that
hard to massage the markdown into troff markdown.
Sigh ... get off my lawn ...
