LaTeX Environments

(some) LaTeX environments for Jupyter notebook

This extension for IPython 3.x or Jupyter enables to use some LaTeX commands and environments in the notebook's markdown cells.

1. LaTeX commands and environments

• support for some LaTeX commands within markdown cells, e.g. \textit, \textbf, \underline
• support for theorems-like environments
• support for lists: enumerate, itemize,
• limited support for a figure environment,
• support for an environment listing,
• additional textboxa environment

2. Citations and bibliography

• support for \cite with creation of a References section, rendering of references can be customized (to some extent)

3. Document-wide numbering of equations, support for \label and \ref
4. Configuration toolbar
5. Styles can be customized in the latex_env.css stylesheet

More environments can be simply added in the source file (thmsInNb4.js).

The conversion directory contains scripts for converting the notebooks to html and LaTeX while taking into account the structures enabled by the extension. Theses scripts require nodejs, perl, ipython3. Examples of such conversions are in the doc subdirectory that constains an example notebook and its html and pdf versions. This serves as the documentation.

Demo/documentation

A demo notebook latex_env_doc.ipynb is provided. Its html version is latex_env_doc.html and a pdf resulting from conversion to LaTeX is available as documentation.
