How to get LaTeX to work in IPython notebook?

I'm experimenting with IPython notebook. I can't get LaTeX to work:

$$ x + 3 $$
  File "<ipython-input-1-0f8a1bc96d90>", line 1
    $$ x + 3 $$
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and ipython 0.12.1. If upgrading to 0.13 would solve my problem, please explain how to do that, as my attempts have failed.

If you want to write latex you should write in in a Markdown cell, not in a code cell.

Still, consider migrating to 0.13, 0.12 cannot read notebook generated from newer version and has a design flaw in notebook format.
