Hello,  
the following MWE of a julia-jupyter notebook (rename to .ipynb) shows a problem with plots:  
[MWE1.ipynb.jl](https://discourse.julialang.org/uploads/short-url/4gbH6pYZNxm8vw5YdwI6t2a0A1m.jl) (224.5 KB)  
no matter the selected output format, the cell outputs an “image/png”, “image/svg+xml” and “text/html” (both latter containing the svg, see attached file source). This is first of all unexpected, as fmt should set the output format for jupyter/Ijulia according to [here](https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/output/#Jupyter-/-IJulia). Further ist leads to problems as `jupyter nbconvert --to-markdown` fails to include links to the supportfiles (like `![svg](img.png)`) and just prints the svg from “text/html” as plain text into the markdown file.  
Rename to .md and see here:  
[MWE1.md.jl](https://discourse.julialang.org/uploads/short-url/xAtujJRmKyamKgxxq7dTzLENKzg.jl) (75.9 KB)  
Where is the problem here? is it Plots.jl or IJulia?
