[lecture_comparison] [re_with_feedback] Strange-looking prints of latex equations generated by code

[shlff]

Hi @mmcky , I noticed another issue in lecture re_with_feedback:

• the latex math expressions generated by code look very strange or wrong.

For example, please see here (left: MYST, right: RST),

thanks @shlff -- nice pickup. I wonder if it is displaying the html image in preference to the latex via mathjax

[mmcky]

@AakashGfude perhaps this is just an issue with the priorities of which object to use at the myst-nb level. Would you mind investigating if jupyter-book is pulling an image of the math instead of the latex/mathml for mathjax rendering.

[AakashGfude]

@mmcky you are right, it is because of the priorities set in myst_nb

"application/javascript",
"text/html",
"image/svg+xml",
"image/png",
"image/jpeg",
"text/markdown",
"text/latex",
"text/plain",

In the examples given by shu, the code blocks have text/latex, text/plain, image/png all of them. since image/png is at a higher priority, it gets used. We Will need to check why the png image is formed in some blocks but not others.

thanks @AakashGfude should we promote text/latex do you think?

@shlff what do you think about this: https://602a010c1e69bd5db7839bc0--nostalgic-wright-5fa355.netlify.app/re_with_feedback.html#fun-with-sympy-code

Thanks @mmcky. I checked all math expressions in this lecture and they look perfect now except that the following one still looks a bit different (left: myst; right: rst)

I think this array is fine and you can ignore it.
