Expected/desired behavior

It would be pretty neat if this application was able to render LaTeX commands output by the LLM. This could be helpful if someone wants to use an app like this to study for math exams that have study guides or answer sheets in the form of a pdf. Or even for asking the LLM about a math formula in a large textbook.

To enable that, you would want to bring in a package like https://katex.org/ that can render LaTex and ensure that your prompt results in properly formatted LaTeX. Then you can run katex on the resulting text and turn it into math. This PR would be similar to how you'd do it: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo/pull/56

We wouldn't want to do that for everyone, however, since that would increase the JavaScript load for a feature that most do not need. If you end up doing it, please share the code here so that others can benefit.
