A Sphinx Extension for Generating Jupyter Notebooks

Installation

To install you can clone the repository and install using:

python setup.py install

Usage

Update project conf.py file to include the jupyter extension and the desired configuration settings (see configuration section below):

extensions = ["sphinx_tojupyter"]

then run

make jupyter

Features

MyST-NB Glue Support

This extension supports MyST-NB glue functionality, allowing you to store and reference notebook variables in your documentation:

Basic Usage:

\```python
from myst_nb import glue
glue("my_variable", "Hello World")
glue("my_number", 3.14159)
\```
The value is {glue:text}`my_variable` and pi is approximately {glue:text}`my_number:.2f`.

Figure Glue:

\```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from myst_nb import glue
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
glue("my_plot", fig, display=False)
\```
\```{glue:figure} my_plot
:name: fig-example
Caption for the figure.
\```

Requirements:

Add myst_nb to your extensions in conf.py
Set nb_execution_mode = "cache" (or "auto"/"force")

See the test suite for more examples.

sphinx-proof Support

Full support for sphinx-proof directives, allowing you to include mathematical theorems, proofs, and related content in your notebooks:

Supported Directives (15 types):

theorem, axiom, lemma, definition, remark
conjecture, corollary, algorithm, criterion
example, property, observation, proposition
assumption, notation, proof

Example:

\```{prf:theorem} Pythagorean Theorem
:label: pythagoras
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides:
$$
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
$$
\```
\```{prf:proof}
The proof follows from...
\```

Features:

✅ Automatic numbering from Sphinx's numfig system
✅ Support for titled and untitled directives
✅ Cross-reference handling
✅ Clean markdown formatting for notebooks

Requirements:

Add sphinx_proof to your extensions in conf.py
Enable numfig = True for numbered directives

See the test suite for comprehensive examples.

LaTeX Macros Support

Define custom LaTeX commands once, use everywhere (HTML and notebooks):

# conf.py
mathjax3_config = {
    'tex': {
        'macros': {
            'ZZ': r'\mathbb{Z}',
            'RR': r'\mathbb{R}',
            'NN': r'\mathbb{N}',
        }
    }
}

Then use them in your documentation:

The set of integers is $\ZZ$ and the reals are $\RR$.

Benefits:

✅ Single configuration for HTML and notebooks
✅ Standard Sphinx/Jupyter Book approach
✅ Macros automatically added to generated notebooks
✅ Works with existing mathjax3_config setups

See the LaTeX macros documentation and test suite for more details.
