Welcome to the Streamlit community, @peterstorm! 
Currently, Streamlit does’t support latex.
However, I’ve filed a feature request based on your awesome suggestion. Please feel free to follow that issue for up-to-date information.
Please note that @veered has come up with a cool work-around which uses a Chrome extension.
Finally, please feel free to submit your own feature requests in the future!
