column names wrapped in $ do not render correctly in latex

[mpsheasby]

A recent regression that I've noticed is that column names wrapped in $ no longer render nicely as latex in a jupyter notebook.

Does anyone else get this behavior?

Thanks for this useful package.

Reproduction

import itables
import pandas as pd
itables.init_notebook_mode()
pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2],'$$b$$':[2,3],'$$c$$':[2,3]}).set_index(['a'])

The code above gives this in notebook 7:

Might be useful to note that, once exported to html, it does render correctly.

here is my piplist.txt

Thank you @mpsheasby for reporting this!

I expect this is due to a major change in v2.4.0. Since v2.4.0 we set the HTML header from JavaScript, for consistency with the other ITables components, and it's likely that this happens too late for MathJax to process the math formulas there.

A few months ago I did try to integrate MathJax explicitly within ITables (#397, see also #174 ), which would allow supporting math contents also in the rows, not only in the column names. I will try to resurrect that when time permits.
