[IPython-dev] nbconvert: eqnarray environment missing in html output

[Jakob Gager]

Hi Zoltán,

pandoc strips raw latex (not placed inside $s) when converting to html, but keeps it when converting to 
latex. Vice versa raw html is stripped when converting to latex but retained when converting to html.
So you are actually facing a pandoc shortcoming (I wouldn't call it a bug since this behavior seems to be 
intended). Has been discussed e.g. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/4234

To overcome the png issue you could use svgs instead, try
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg'
