LaTeX \newcommand no longer seems to work

[dialkforkaushik]

I upgraded to IPython 4.0.0 and (correspondingly) now use jupyter notebook to work with my Notebooks. However, I find that my Markdown cells with LaTeX \newcommand no longer seems to set up a reusable macro. (This was absolutely fine in IPython 3.4 from which I had migrated.) What am I missing? Or, is this some bug? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Here's a very simple Notebook markdown and its output.

$\newcommand{innerproduct}[2]{\langle #1, #2 \rangle}$

does #324 fix it ?

Assuming closed by #324 as now we ship newcommand.js

It looks like this post implies that \newcommand doesn't work anymore. I think the documentation here needs to be updated:
