Table subcaptions with math symbols in quarto PDF

[zbig-karp]

Description

I have a question similar to this one: #4830. I am writing a report in quarto with PDF as the intended output format. I want to add sub-captions to sub-tables. The sub-captions contain some math notation. But when I render the file to PDF, the math symbols are not correctly printed.

#| label: tbl-example
#| tbl-cap: Some caption
#| tbl-subcap: 
#|   - $\\langle M_xM_y\\rangle$
#|   - $\\langle M_xL_y\\rangle$
#| layout-ncol: 2

library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)

kable(matrix(1:4, ncol = 2))
kable(matrix(1:4, ncol = 2))

Any help on how to solve the issue would be appreciated.

Here's my session info:

R version 4.3.3 (2024-02-29)
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Sonoma 14.5

This is the keep-md: true output:

---
title: Hello
format: pdf
keep-tex: true
keep-md: true
---


::: {#tbl-example .cell layout-ncol="2" tbl-cap='Some caption' tbl-subcap='["$\\\\langle M_xM_y\\\\rangle$","$\\\\langle M_xL_y\\\\rangle$"]'}

```{.r .cell-code}
library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)

kable(matrix(1:4, ncol = 2))
```

::: {.cell-output-display}

\begin{tabular}{r|r}
\hline
1 & 3\\
\hline
2 & 4\\
\hline
\end{tabular}


:::

```{.r .cell-code}
kable(matrix(1:4, ncol = 2))
```

::: {.cell-output-display}

\begin{tabular}{r|r}
\hline
1 & 3\\
\hline
2 & 4\\
\hline
\end{tabular}

and this is the relevant part of the resulting .tex file:

\begin{document}
\maketitle


\begin{Shaded}
\begin{Highlighting}[]
\FunctionTok{library}\NormalTok{(knitr)}
\FunctionTok{library}\NormalTok{(kableExtra)}

\FunctionTok{kable}\NormalTok{(}\FunctionTok{matrix}\NormalTok{(}\DecValTok{1}\SpecialCharTok{:}\DecValTok{4}\NormalTok{, }\AttributeTok{ncol =} \DecValTok{2}\NormalTok{))}
\FunctionTok{kable}\NormalTok{(}\FunctionTok{matrix}\NormalTok{(}\DecValTok{1}\SpecialCharTok{:}\DecValTok{4}\NormalTok{, }\AttributeTok{ncol =} \DecValTok{2}\NormalTok{))}
\end{Highlighting}
\end{Shaded}

\begin{table}

\caption{\label{tbl-example}Some caption}

\begin{minipage}{0.50\linewidth}

\begin{tabular}{r|r}
\hline
1 & 3\\
\hline
2 & 4\\

\end{minipage}%

\begin{minipage}{0.50\linewidth}

\begin{tabular}{r|r}

\end{table}%




\end{document}

Looks like a Quarto bug to me.
