VSCode (vscode-jupyter) rendering of HTML+latex is broken #13
Description
VSCode seems to have broken rendering for both latex within HTML and latex within markdown. This affects rendering of trees and formula derivations. See the following issues:
- Latex not rendering in html, stdout output (such as plots, widgets, etc) for Python and Julia notebooks microsoft/vscode-jupyter#7801
- LaTeX not rendering in Plotly figures microsoft/vscode-jupyter#8131 (maybe)
- LaTeX not rendering in cell text/html encoded outputs when embedded inside html microsoft/vscode#203725 (maybe)
The situation doesn't look super promising (the main issue has autoclosed) so I have put in a quick error in 2dbe90b so that the user has some idea what's going on. This is really an upstream issue, but it's useful to have an issue here in case people come looking.
Unclear right now if there's any hope of workarounds along the lines of the colab solution. The main idea that comes to mind is to try to find a way to run MathJax(?) manually in HTML outputs, but I don't even know where to begin on this in VSCode.
