Line wrapping latex equations in the qtconsole

[asmeurer]

Someone pointed out on Gitter that LaTeX printing in the qtconsole does not line wrap. It just flows off the screen, and cannot be scrolled.

I wonder if we could use breqn to do some line wrapping.

The only workaround I know is to use pprint.

We perhaps should also open an upstream qtconsole bug about the inability to horizontally scroll large images. I'm not sure that the qtconsole is very actively developed right now, though, so unless someone wants to implement it I wouldn't expect it to get fixed very soon.

I also came here looking to see if there was a way to do this; I guess not. But I can tell you a possible way at least to be able to scroll it. I find that if I resize the qtconsole window's width slightly, the horizontal scrollbar appears. You might only have enough to scroll to see the longest line you have so far, and you'll need to do it again if you have a longer line, but it's something.
