Math not rendered in Jupyter Notebooks

[pietrodantuono]

• VS Code Version: 1.55.0-insider
• OS Version: Windows 10 20H2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Ctrl + Shift + P
2. Jupyter: Create New Blank Notebook
3. Add a Markdown cell
4. Type in some math (e.g. $x^2$ or [ x^2 ], etc)
5. Ctrl + Alt + Enter

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes (obviously, python extension needs to be enabled)

P.S. The issue happened since Version 1.53.0-insider

EDIT:

adding the following to settings.json partially solves the issue (thanks to #106701):
"notebook.experimental.useMarkdownRenderer": true

In fact now the dollars math syntax seems working

I think this is duplicate of #118262 and work is in progress there
