python - Is it possible to show `print` output as LaTeX in jupyter notebook?

Question

I was writing a very simple script to count ellipsoid area and volume and some other things. I was presenting my output printing it out like this:

print('Dims: {}x{}m
Area: {}m^2
Volume: {}m^3'.format(a, round(b,2), P, V))

What, of course, gave this output (with sample data):

Dims: 13.49x2.25m
Area: 302.99m^2
Volume: 90.92m^3

As I wrote earlier, I am using jupyter notebook, so I can use $ operators in markdown cells to create LaTeX formulas.

My question is, is it possible to generate output using Python code in a way that it will be understood as LaTeX formula and printed in such a way, that:

Thanks for all replies.

Answer 1

Use IPython.display's display function with a Math object:

from IPython.display import display, Math
display(Math(r'Dims: {}x{}m \ Area: {}m^2 \ Volume: {}m^3'.format(a, round(b,2), P, V)))

Note the use of Latex-style \ newlines, and the r'' string, which will take the backslashes as literal backslashes and not see them as escape characters.
