DataFrames rendered with Python Markdown {{ }} do not convert

[clayms]

DataFrames refered to with the Python Markdown {{Table1}} notation display just fine inside the notebook. However, they do not convert into a pdf with nbconvert. All I see is the {{Table1}} Python Markdown reference.

Do I need to add a special code block in a latex .tplx template file? If so, any idea what that code would be?

Actually none of the variables referred to in markdown cells with the Python Markdown {{}} notation work.

Also, I did try adding --execute to the console command which did not help.

Did you check if the PyMarkdownPreprocessor is called from nbconvert ?
If not, see https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-notebook-extensions/tree/master/nbextensions/usability/python-markdown
It should work for both HTML and PDF

I did try adding the following to my config file but still get errors. Don't think I have pre_pymarkdown.py in the right place.

c = get_config()
c.Exporter.preprocessors = ['pre_pymarkdown.PyMarkdownPreprocessor']

[juhasch]

pre_pymarkdown.py is a Python file, so you need to have it in your Python path or add it to PYTHONPATH.

Thanks @juhasch, yes. I thought it would have installed by default. Was not anywhere on my file system. Downloaded from github and put in Anaconda folder, which is the Python path on my system. Closing this now.

@juhasch I'm having the same issue for all notebooks generated using nbconvert. My pre_markdown.py is in my PYTHONPATH, so that's not the issue. I'm thinking is has something to do with the PyMarkdownPreprocessor, though I'm not entirely sure.

Any thoughts on whats going on? (The link you posted is no longer active.)

Documentation is available here: http://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

If you install the PyPi or conda-forge packages, you should not need to set PYTHONPATH or do any manual configuration. Feel free to open a new issue at the https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions repo.
