Math between \( \) will render correctly when using SVG export in GUI, but when exported to SVG using CLI the 'source' LaTeX markup is shown.

This appears to have regressed, as the same issue was reported two years ago as issue #223, and then apparently fixed.

Tested on MacOSX Draw.io 24.7.8 (the latest desktop version)

To Reproduce /Applications/draw.io.app/Contents/MacOS/draw.io -x -f svg -o figure.svg input.drawio

Same on NixOS with 24.7.8
