[IPython-dev] How to tell IPython to render %%latex or other magical stuff

Hi,
I guess this must be an obvious question, but I haven't been able to
find the answer. I am creating a kernel for Maxima (computer algebra
system) and I've been able to get Maxima to talk to the IPython front
end via Fishbowl (kernel for Common Lisp). O happy day! Many thanks to
Frederic Peschanski for Fishbowl.
Anyway now I'm trying to figure out how to have formulas and plots
displayed by the IPython notebook. What does the kernel return to tell
the front end to render stuff as LaTeX? or as a plot? If I get Maxima
to return "%%latex $x^2$" it is still displayed as a string, so I must
be missing something.
Thanks in advance for any information.
