Expected behaviour

Actual behaviour

Steps to reproduce:

Run the following cell

#%%latex
\frac1c

Looks like it is not passing the %%latex magic correctly.

I don't believe this has ever worked? Didn't realize this was a way to enter 'latex' mode. I thought it used $$, like so:

#%% [markdown]
# I like $$c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$$
# $$
# H← ​​​60 ​+​ \frac{​​30(B−R)​​}{Vmax−Vmin}  ​​, if V​max​​ = G
# $$

Strange that it works from the input box though.

This is what i was referring to when trying this out.
