Consider extension for LaTeXStrings

[jkrumbiegel]

Currently, LaTeXStrings like they are output from Latexify have to be printed with output: asis. We could consider adding an expand overload for them in an extension so that returning them is like writing the math in markdown mode there. This makes them work everywhere where quarto implements math handling.

This could look like:

Part of #94.

What happens if you write display(latexify(m))? Do we get a bad output for that as well?

from the thread:

So I guess the question is whether expand should happen to results captured via InlineDisplay as well as from the cell return value?

[jkrumbiegel]

If quarto used the text/latex mimetype, I guess both display and return value would work. For me using expand feels like it should only apply to cell return values somehow, but not sure.

[MichaelHatherly]

The mimetype wrapper mechanism might be suitable for this kind of thing instead of expand,

QuartoNotebookRunner.jl/src/QuartoNotebookWorker/src/render.jl

Line 284 in 7fe5ace

value = _mimetype_wrapper(value)

.

[jkrumbiegel]

You mean wrapping it with some object that renders to markdown latex, which is then used by quarto? Sounds good to me.

[MichaelHatherly]

Yes, something like that.
