Description
Currently, Markdown Block does not support preview in the block editor although it's working well in the front-end.
That would be nice if we can support "Preview" for Latex code within the block editor.
Example Latex code: `$latex i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\left|\Psi(t)\right>=H\left|\Psi(t)\right>$`

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the Markdown Block editor implementation and its existing front-end Latex rendering path; the work is done when Latex expressions preview inside the block editor without changing the existing front-end behavior.
