`_repr_latex_` doesn't get rendered

[peey]

Bug: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Editor cells

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Start a python interactive session and enter this:

class A():
	def _repr_latex_(self):
		return "$\psi$"

2. In next cell, run A() to create an object of this class and have it be printed

Actual behavior

Latex is not rendered

Expected behavior

Latex should be rendered, like it is in markdown mode

Note that this is a minimal reproduction of the bug. Real scenarios this bug affects: using libraries like sympy.

@peey. Thanks for reporting this. In our current master build this is what I see with your scenario:

This looks correctly rendered to me. You mention using the Theia editor. If you see this issue with VSCode we can investigate, but I don't believe that we will look into an issue only reproing on a non-vscode editor using our extension.

Hi Ian, that's understandable. I thought that this was a limitation of the extension itself.

If it works correctly in the correct version on VSCode, I'll report this issue to Theia editor's repository instead.

Thanks a lot for reproducing and checking!

Totally, and if you do see it in VSCode just re-activate this and we'll look into it.
