Mine is as follows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ runs the command cdlatex-dollar (found in cdlatex-mode-map), which
is an interactive byte-compiled Lisp function in ‘cdlatex.el’.

It is bound to $.

(cdlatex-dollar &optional ARG)

Insert a pair of dollars unless number of backslashes before point is odd.
With arg, insert pair of double dollars.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end------------->8---
