When I run

```
1//2

```

in Jupyter notebook, the output is the raw LaTeX expression

```
\frac 1 2

```

which has not been rendered as a formula. Does anyone know how to force Jupyter to render the formula with MathJax or LaTeX? Otherwise is there a way to make the output just “1//2”, which is the case when running Julia in the terminal?
