The syntax scheme looks like "BB code" as used by e.g. Ubuntu forums
  https://ubuntuforums.org/misc.php?do=bbcode

Nevertheless, that biotope is fragmented and "[math]" seems to be rarely
implemented. I see traces that it formats mathematical expressions

Translated quote:

  "Mathematical Formula (MathML, TeX and ASCIImat):
   \begin{pmatrix} x & y \\ z & v \end{pmatrix}
   Usage: [math]\begin{pmatrix} x & y \\ z & v \end{pmatrix}[/math]"

You will probably have to study the help texts of the particular forum
to find out what source code format their "[math]" accepts.


Have a nice day :)
