convert notebook generated HTML snippet to LaTeX and PDF

In my notebooks I sometimes have 

from IPython.display import display, HTML
...
display(HTML('<h3>The %s is important!</h3>'%question_of_the_day))
...

but when I later convert the notebook to .pdf (with the intermediate step of a LaTeX file) what I get in the .pdf is just

<IPython.core.display.HTML object>

My question is, is it possible to convince jupyter nbconvert --to pdf ... (and ultimately to convince pandoc) to convert the snippet of HTML code that I had programmatically inserted in an output cell?

Based on this github issue (which is still open at the time of writing) the PDF export goes through Latex which makes it hard to include HTML. Only trivial HTML works. In my experience not even markdown tables work well.

My workaround now was: File>DownloadAs>HTML, open the downloaded html with Chrome browser and say print. Select Destination "Save as PDF".
