Latex in panel widgets

Panel
1

Hello,
I am trying to find out if I can use Latex symbols in the panel widgets like Select.

Here is a small example, I am using panel 1.4.4

import panel as pn
pn.extension()

p = pn.widgets.Select(value="$$\\alpha$$",
                      options=["$$\\alpha$$", "$$\\beta$$"],
                      name="parameter")

p.show()

image
Am I doing it wrong or is this not supported?
Thank you!

Does this work with Bokeh widgets? If so, then it’s a bug in Panel; if not, it’s an upstream feature request.
