`eval` role not working as expected

[rkansal47]

First of all, I want to thank you all for this awesome package! It's made my life a lot easier. I have a minor issue to report regarding the eval role:

{eval}`test`

does not output the value of the test variable but instead just outputs an inline codeblock: test. However, using two `` marks fixes this:

{eval}``test``

Additional notes

This is using python 3.10, jupyterlab v4.0.4, and jupyterlab-myst v2.0.1.

I wanted to re-raise this issue because I'm seeing the same behavior with a clean installation (jupyterlab 4.2.4, jupyterlab-myst 2.4.2).

Interestingly, after executing a markdown cell with the double backticks, the single tick syntax starts working.

For me (not a clean installation, lots of stuff installed from conda-forge in parallel), with JupyterLab 4.2.2, jupyterlab-myst 2.4.2, both single and double backtick syntaxes result in the following behaviour: on the first cell execution, I get inline code block, but on the second execution of the same cell (if I press Ctrl+Enter again) it is rendered to the value of the variable. I wonder if evaluating the cell again happens to work for you?

This is unusual! Let me see if i can reproduce it tomorrow.

Just in case my scenario (only rendering on the second execution) is of interest, here is a small screencast reproducing it with a clean install from pip, JupyterLab 4.2.4, jupyterlab-myst 2.4.2. Screencast_20240729_075010.webm

@srprca thanks for this reproducer! I can easily replicate the problem locally.
