Have GitLab render both: LaTeX and images, correctly in Jupyter notebooks.

Problem to solve

GitLab does not render either: LaTeX, or images, correctly in Jupyter notebooks. (GitHub does; so, it must be possible.)

Intended users

Anyone using GitLab to revision control Jupyter notebooks.

Further details

Sharing Jupyter notebooks containing LaTeX and/or images w/ other people, who aren't set up for local Jupyter notebook rendering, is very convenient on GitHub, as the GitHub server correctly renders such notebooks when they are clicked on.

Proposal

Find out how GitHub renders Jupyter notebooks and mimic what they do.

Permissions and Security

GitLab server configuration?

Documentation

Here is a Jupyter notebook containing both LaTeX and an image, on GitHub:
https://github.com/capn-freako/IPython_Notebooks/blob/master/GitXTest.ipynb

Note that both the LaTeX and the image are rendered correctly.

Here is the same notebook, on GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/david245/jupyter-notebooks/blob/master/GitXTest.ipynb

Note that neither the LaTeX, nor the image, is rendered correctly.

Testing

Yes to cross-browser testing; not sure on anything else.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
