Description

When using pio.renderers.default = "notebook" and exporting to HTML via nbconvert, the resulting HTML includes a MathJax import from a CDN:

"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_SVG"

This behavior appears to contradict the documentation for the notebook interactive renderer, which suggests that all required assets should be self-contained: https://plotly.com/python/renderers/

Could you clarify whether this is expected behavior or a bug?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with pio.renderers.default = "notebook" and export the notebook through nbconvert while offline. Inspect the generated HTML and the notebook renderer documentation to determine whether MathJax should be bundled or the documentation should describe the CDN dependency; done means the behavior and documentation agree.
