I am using macOS and VScode. I find Weave.jl fail to render LATEX output.

Example code:

````plaintext
# Demo
**Everything** works fine, _except_ for LATEX elements.

I want beta in `LATEX`:
1. $\beta$
2. ``\beta``
3. $$\beta$$
4. ```math \beta ```

````

Output:

I am following [Markdown](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Markdown/) and [Weave](http://weavejl.mpastell.com/stable/publish/#Supported-Markdown-syntax) Documentations.

I didn’t know that Markdown is possible with **Weave**. You can’t use Quarto instead?
