Towards Jupyter Book 2 with MyST-MD

2024-05-19T00:00:00+00:00

Over the past four years, the Executable Book(s) (EB) project has been working to improve workflows for writing and publishing with Jupyter Notebooks, along with the broader open source science ecosystem.

Within this collaboration, much of the development effort has been spent on building Jupyter Book, which has been a tremendous success; there are at least 13,209 GitHub repositories using the tool according to the dependency graph for the project.[1] Furthermore, the reach of EB has grown to encompass documentation writers and package authors who use EB tools to provide a richer experience for their audiences. For example, six of the flagship scientific python projects[3] like NumPy, Pandas, and Dask make use of at least one of the Sphinx-based tools we’ve developed such as the PyData Sphinx Theme, the Sphinx Book Theme, MyST Markdown parser, or the Jupyter Notebook parser.[4]

Interested in porting your first LaTeX template to a MyST template? Join the upcoming webinar (15th March 2023 @ 4pm UTC) and get started (and maybe finished) building your template during the session.

The webinar is hosted by Rowan & Steve from Curvenote, and will be a 2 hour walk-through at an easy pace of how to markup an existing LaTeX template or document for use with the MyST Markdown CLI.
