Latex is not Rendered in Plotly

@gorarakelyan Thank you for your answer. The problem is that the default Ploty "html" does not include mathjax. When we make the conversion our self it works. What do you think? (WandB suffers from the same problem)

# Import modules
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from plotly.tools import mpl_to_plotly

# Create some data arrays
x = np.linspace(-2.0 * np.pi, 2.0 * np.pi, 51)
y = np.sin(x)

# Make a plot
mpl_fig = plt.figure()
plt.plot(x, y, 'ko--')
plt.title('$\\alpha$ sin(x) from -2*pi to 2*pi')
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('sin(x)')
# plt.show()

# Export plot to plotly
a = mpl_to_plotly(mpl_fig)
a.write_html("test.html", full_html=False, include_plotlyjs='cdn', include_mathjax='cdn')

If you give me some guidance, I could try to come up with an PR.

@mauricekraus this might be a plotly matplotlib conversion limitation, when trying to display it interactively on the browser. A workaround could be tracking matplotlib figures as Aim images.
