Integration with Jupyter

[mwouts]

I've seen that you offer support of Rmd notebooks in Jupyter by modifying the jupyter config file. That is very nice already!

Don't you think it would be nice to have official support by Jupyter for these notebooks?
In this direction I have opened jupyter/notebook#3694

Thanks @grst. I had a look at your version and was impressed, it even supports .nb.html !
I've also read the issue above, yet I think developping an extension for jupyter lab is a significant work.

By the way, I am interested in being able to open .Rmd files directly in Jupyter. Instructions for notebook say

c.NotebookApp.contents_manager_class = 'notedown.NotedownContentsManager'

and those for your package reads

c.IPymdContentsManager.format = 'rmarkdown' 

yet, none seems to be effective in my configuration (Jupyter 4.4.0). Are these up-to-date ?

Should be possible... I will look into it, but I think this should be discussed in grst/ipymd. Would you mind opening an issue there?

As mentioned on the other issue, the correct syntax for https://github.com/grst/ipymd was

c.NotebookApp.contents_manager_class = 'ipymd.IPymdContentsManager'
c.IPymdContentsManager.format = 'rmarkdown'  # choose the format here

Regarding notedown I now see that

c.NotebookApp.contents_manager_class = 'notedown.NotedownContentsManager'

allows to open .md files as notebooks (not .Rmd, though).
