Rendering LaTeX in output cells in Colaboratory

I expect a cell like



from IPython.display import display, Math
display(Math(r"e^alpha"))


to render with MathJax as it does in normal jupyter,
but instead it just displays latex code like:



$$e^alpha$$


Is there a way to get Colaboratory to render it correctly? (It manages it fine for text cells).

          Simplify scraaappy's answer a bit.



          from IPython.display import HTML, Math
          display(HTML("<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/"
          "latest.js?config=default'></script>"))
          Math(r"e^alpha")


          It just includes MathJax library so the following equations can be displayed.



          Or use the built-in output._publish (Aug 2018)



          from IPython.display import Math
          from google.colab.output._publish import javascript
          url = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/latest.js?config=default"

          javascript(url=url)
          Math(r"e^alpha")


          Instead of CDN, you can also use MathJax that comes with Colab.

            I am not sure that it's the right method,but it works:



            from IPython.display import Javascript, Math
            display(Javascript("var sc = document.createElement('script')"))
            display(Javascript("sc.type='text/javascript'; sc.src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML&dummy=.js'"))
            display(Javascript("var currentDiv = document.activeElement.parent"))
            #display(Javascript("sc.onload = function () {console.log('loaded')};"))
            display(Javascript("document.body.insertBefore(sc, currentDiv)"))
            display(Math(r'F(k) = int_{-infty}^{infty} f(x) e^{2pi i k} dx'))
            display(Math(r"e^alpha"))

            • I just realized that we don't need to import display, it's imported by default. Thanks!

            As a temporary workaround, you can define your own equation rendering function:



            from IPython.display import HTML, Math
            def mview(e):
            display(HTML("<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/"
            "latest.js?config=default'></script>"))
            return Math(latex(e))


            And then use it as follows:



            e = Integral(cos(x)**2, (x, 0, pi))
            mview(e)

              First you question is uncorrect, it should be "inline" not output in colaboratory.



              Second to answer your question, just change "Code" option in menu bar to "Markdown" and executive $= e^alpha$ or $$= e^alpha$$ in "In box".



              This is example
              colab show latex in mardown



              Update: Sorry for my late update, i saw in colaboratory notebook so difference
              , to show LaTeX in it, just Insert "text cell" in Insert menu bar and executive $$= e^alpha$$ or $= e^alpha$ in input box

              • I assume you mean code cell. Even so it doesn't work in Colaboratory. In any case that doesn't answer the question, I want to be able to produce latex from python and have that rendered.

              • Thanks for trying. As I mentioned in the question I have no problem rendering latex from text cells, the problem is to render a latex string that I have as a python variable.

                      As a temporary workaround, you can define your own equation rendering function:



                      from IPython.display import HTML, Math
                      def mview(e):
                      display(HTML("<script src='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.3/"
                      "latest.js?config=default'></script>"))
                      return Math(latex(e))


                      And then use it as follows:



                      e = Integral(cos(x)**2, (x, 0, pi))
                      mview(e)

                              First you question is uncorrect, it should be "inline" not output in colaboratory.



                              Second to answer your question, just change "Code" option in menu bar to "Markdown" and executive $= e^alpha$ or $$= e^alpha$$ in "In box".



                              This is example
                              colab show latex in mardown

                              , to show LaTeX in it, just Insert "text cell" in Insert menu bar and executive $$= e^alpha$$ or $= e^alpha$ in input box

                              • I assume you mean code cell. Even so it doesn't work in Colaboratory. In any case that doesn't answer the question, I want to be able to produce latex from python and have that rendered.
