Description
Hello Dash Community,
Dash v2.3.0 introduced Mathjax support in dcc.Markdown and dcc.Graph which is very nice for producing scientific dashboards.
Dash DataTable also provides the Markdown presentation option, but Mathjax does not seem to be activated in this case. This feature would be nice in order to display pretty-printed data in the table.
I tried outputing a $$ delimited LaTex formula in a MarkDown cell of DataTable but it didn't rendered with Mathjax (using Dash 2.6.0):
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reproducing the $$-delimited LaTeX formula in a Dash DataTable Markdown cell, using the Dash 2.6.0 behavior described in the issue. Compare DataTable's Markdown rendering with the existing MathJax support in dcc.Markdown and dcc.Graph; done means formulas render correctly in DataTable cells.
