Writing MyST Markdown

MyST Markdown is a flavor of markdown that gives you full access to all of the functionality provided by Sphinx (such as roles and directives). In MyST-NB, this is provided by the MyST Parser, another Sphinx extension that MyST-NB depends on.

You can write your MyST markdown in either regular markdown files (.md) or in the markdown cells of Jupyter Notebooks (.ipynb).

If you are using MyST-NB in your documentation, do not activate `myst-parser`. It will
be automatically activated by `myst-nb`.

For more information about what you can write with MyST Markdown, see the MyST Parser syntax guide.

Parse extensions other than .md and .ipynb

You can change which files are parsed by MyST-NB using the source_suffix option in your conf.py, e.g.:

extensions = ["myst_nb"]
source_suffix = {
    '.rst': 'restructuredtext',
    '.ipynb': 'myst-nb',
    '.myst': 'myst-nb',
}
