How to render evalmy_var without single quotes with myst build --pdf?

[benwilks]

I'm trying to export my jupyter notebook using myst to either a pdf or docx. I have a number of variables that are strings such as my_var = "example_string". When I use evalmy_var it renders correctly inline within the jupyter notebook but when I try to use myst build --pdf the rendered pdf shows ' ' around all of the variables. Is there a way to render the variables without the ' ' around them? It renders correctly for int type values but not strings.
