Renderer for jupyter notebook .ipynb

[ng0177]

Hello, just seems to print the source code... Any ideas how to best obtain a .pdf? Thanks.

Print does not currently support rendered printing of Jupyter notebooks.

Printing as source code is the primary use case. I added special handling to render Markdown documents because I wanted to print one and had pretty much a reaction parallel to yours with Jupyter notebooks -- rendered is the only sensible way to print them.

The only thing I know about Jupyter notebooks is the name. I don't know what they're for or how VS Code handles them, so if you want support for rendered printing, you'll have to figure it out how to render a notebook as HTML. I have a lot on at the moment, so I cannot offer to undertake the required learning any time soon. If VS Code can display them rendered, then it may be possible to hijack the rendering pipeline. That's how I handle Markdown.

Once you know how to render a notebook as HTML, I can certainly help you integrate this into Print, and from there you can print to PDF.

Thanks for the timely reply. If I find out, I will post it.

Have a look at this extension https://github.com/jithurjacob/vscode-nbpreviewer and see whether you can figure it out from there. You are looking for a function that takes the notebook string and returns HTML. There may not be one -- it is possible that the extension expects the HTML to load js that renders in the browser (or in this case in the WebView control).
