Running a notebook within VSCode and seeing some problems with DataFrames.

Might be a quick PR to detect the display? I am not entirely sure how the display stack works. Happy to help debug with someone.

This is weird. You don’t have anything in your startup.jl that’s causing this?

I don’t have a startup.jl file at all. Is there a way to see what Dataframes thinks the cell is (i.e. HTML, REPL, etc?). By the way, `show(_data)` works fine.

```julia
699×12 DataFrame
 Row │ Column1 ID thickness cell_size cell_shape adhesion epithelia ⋯
     │ Int64 Int64 Int64 Int64 Int64 Int64 Int64 ⋯
─────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   1 │ 1 1000025 5 1 1 1 ⋯
   2 │ 2 1002945 5 4 4 5
   3 │ 3 1015425 3 1 1 1
   4 │ 4 1016277 6 8 8 1

   6 │ 6 1017122 8 10 10 8
   7 │ 7 1018099 1 1 1 1
   8 │ 8 1018561 2 1 2 1
   9 │ 9 1033078 2 1 1 1 ⋯

 692 │ 692 695091 5 10 10 5
 693 │ 693 714039 3 1 1 1
 694 │ 694 763235 3 1 1 1
 695 │ 695 776715 3 1 1 1 ⋯
 696 │ 696 841769 2 1 1 1
 697 │ 697 888820 5 10 10 3
 698 │ 698 897471 4 8 6 4
 699 │ 699 897471 4 8 8 5 ⋯
                                                  6 columns and 678 rows omitted

```

slightly misaligned at the break, but that might just be a vscode notebook issue.

I can’t replicate using a notebook, so I think you will have to post an MWE

A notebook on vscode? It works fine for me in Jupyter Lab, but not on vscode. I am not sure what information to provide

```julia
df = DataFrame(a = rand(10), b = rand(10))

```

simply outputs the Latex… unless I do `show(df)` or pipe to `df |> pretty_table`
