You could also use the "jsmath avoid list": a list of strings which tells
the notebook to use straight latex, rather than JSMath, to process them:
sage: latex.add_to_jsmath_avoid_list('tikz')
tells Sage to not try to use JSMath on any string which includes 'tikz'.
This is documented in sage/misc/latex.py. You can do this to try an
example:
sage: from sage.misc.latex import latex_examples
sage: G = latex_examples.graph()
sage: G
(prints an informative message about what you can do with G)
I would hope that something similar would work with dot2tex, but I haven't
actually tried it.
