Convert Jupyter notebooks

[esafak]

It would be nice if stitch could ingest notebooks so I can do my work in Jupyter then use stitch for archiving and converting.

Agreed. This example started as a notebook. To get to the HTML, I

• cleared all the cell output

• ran it through nbconvert to markdown

• replaced all the opening

tags with

```{python}
```

Not ideal :( I'm hoping that podoc or a project like it will come along. That would convert from notebook to and from pandoc's JSON AST, which is where stitch does all its work.

Thinking about this today, we could provide an nbconvert template that hides output and converts code-chunks from

```
code
```

to

```{kernel-name}
code
```

That would help a bit.

It would be great if you cout make the first part configgureable:

   "python": <kernel-name>
   "python3": <different-kernel-name>

...
` ` `{python}
<code>
` ` `

That way it can be reused in normal settings (and I really need that because e.g. I have no r kernel, only ir-something...)

I recently developed an Rmarkdown plugin for the ipymd project, which adresses this problem. It allows to directly open and edit Rmarkdown (or pymarkdown...) documents from jupyter, entirely replacing the ipynb notebooks.

I would still consider it in a "beta" state, but for now, it works quite well for me.
