Julia has docstrings capabilities, which are documented here https://docs.julialang.org/en/stable/manual/documentation/. I'm under the impression that it has support for LaTeX code, but I'm not sure if the intention is that the LaTeX code should look like code or like an interpretation. In the following, the LaTeX code is garbled somewhat (see rho, for instance) and not interpreted (rho does not look like ρ). Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a way to get LaTeX code look interpreted?
What I mean by interpreted is something like what they do at https://math.stackexchange.com/.
The documentation says that LaTeX code should be wrapped around double back-quotes and that Greek letters should be typed as ρ rather than \rho. But that rather defeats the point of being able to include LaTeX code, doesn't it?
Note: Version 0.5.2 run in Juno/Atom console.

If I then execute the module and query I get this:

Gives the following: the LaTeX code appears to print correctly, but it's not interpreted (ρ is displayed as \rho. I followed suggestions in: https://juliadocs.github.io/Documenter.jl/stable/man/latex.html to
