Description
What happened?
We see both the raw text and a malformed version of the HTML (without CSS formatting).
Example (https://github.com/microsoft/PlanetaryComputerExamples/blob/main/quickstarts/reading-zarr-data.ipynb):
What did you expect to happen?
Either:
- Ideally, we only see the HTML repr, with CSS formatting applied.
- Or, if that isn't possible, we should figure out how to only show the raw text.
nbviewer gets this right:

Research direction
Start by comparing the linked GitHub-hosted notebook with its nbviewer rendering, focusing on the HTML representation output shown in the example. Done means the notebook displays only the correctly CSS-formatted HTML, or only the raw text if GitHub rendering cannot support the formatted representation.
