Without the escapes, JavaScript interprets the backslashes as starting escape sequences, and the LaTeX fails to render properly, as can be seen by looking at the docs. For example, '\sqrt' shows up as sqrt in the x-axis; it should be an actual square-root sign.
We just want backslashes passed through to LaTeX, so this PR escapes the backslashes. It renders properly, as can be verified by pasting into codepen.
