  <p>However, I am still facing some problems while using the Latex code inside Jupyter notebook.</p>
  <p>For example,</p>
  <pre><code>\begin{align*}
    f(x) &amp;= x^2\\
    g(x) &amp;= \frac{1}{x}\\
    F(x) &amp;= \int^a_b \frac{1}{3}x^3
  \end{align*}
  </code></pre>
  <p>This works fine as <code>Markdown</code> but</p>
  <pre><code>\begin{equation*}
    f(x) &amp;= x^2\\
    g(x) &amp;= \frac{1}{x}\\
    F(x) &amp;= \int^a_b \frac{1}{3}x^3
  \end{equation*}
  </code></pre>
  <p>does not.</p>
  <p>While trying to create an ordered list using the following</p>
  <pre><code>\begin{enumerate}
    \item The labels consists of sequential numbers.
    \item The numbers starts at 1 with every call to the enumerate environment.
  \end{enumerate}
  </code></pre>
  <p>However, <code>$\textbf{This is a bold text.}$</code> works.</p>
  <p>It's really confusing what I can use and whatnot. Is there any way so that I can use only Latex code (and no HTML or other code) inside Visual Studio code to format my texts and equations without worrying about which will work and which not?</p>
