I am sure someone has figured this out by now:


I want to get display math mode inside a caption like:


\begin{figure}
<stuff for my graphics>
\caption[caption for table]{This is a caption with display mathematics in  
it
$$x^2+y^2=9$$
As you can see the circle formula yields the above graph etc. . . . }
\end{figure}

I tried playing around with leaving vmode and hmode and hbox and ...  
nothing seemed to do it correctly
