Addresses #10479
This PR adds partial support for rendering LaTeX in positron notebooks by utilizing KaTeX to render the HTML. Using KaTeX in our markdown rendering flow gets us most of the way there when it comes to supporting math expressions.
Because of our rendering pipeline which has an html parsing step, more complex expression support was not working. The root cause of this is
htmlParser.ts.parseHtml()not knowing how to parse the HTML string returned by KaTeX.We will need to move away from
htmlParserif we want better support for all markdown rendering. I am exploring some options and will update the original issue with my findings.Release Notes
