Problem

To show animations in jupyter notebooks, one has to turn them into HTML and display them as HTML object. See https://github.com/timhoffm/using-matplotlib/blob/main/06_Animations.ipynb

This is non-obvious and needs explicit explanation.

Suggested improvement

While it's not a core feature of matplotlib, I believe it's worth describing how to do this.

Even better would be native animation support in matplotlib-inline: ipython/matplotlib-inline#61
