:warning: PRE-ALPHA, SEEKING INPUT :warning:

mdnb is a markdown notebook with plotly and mathjax support. Something between mdbook and jupyter. It works on an airplane.

git clone https://github.com/pbrandt1/mdnb.git
cd mdnb
npm link
mdnb

See mdnb --help for command line options, including -p for http port.

Installation

This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry.

Before installing, download and install Node.js.

Installation is done using the npm install command:

$ npm install -g mdnb

Features

• Github-flavored Markdown
• The javascript blocks actually run in your browser
• Plotly support
• MathJax support
• emojione for a consistent emoji experience :woman_facepalming:

Customization

Here's a default mdnb.json. Change what you will.

{
  "port": 8080,

  "title": "mdnb",
  "favicon": "favicon.png",
  "custom-css": "mdnb-theme.css",
  "custom-head": "mdnb-head.html",

  "MathJax": {
    "tex2jax": {
      "inlineMath": [["$","$"], ["\\(","\\)"]]
    }
  },
  
  "ignore": [
    "node_modules",
    ".git"
  ]
}

Copy the default mdnb.json file and change what you want. Put it in the root directory of your thing. If you don't want to clutter your root, you can use the -f option, like mdnb -f "some/config/file.json".

You probably know some css. Probably more than me. I'd say you should dive in and override whatever you want.

TODO provide some copy-pasta

/* change theme color */
pre {
    border-color: #000000;
}

Really major cusotmization

Just fork the repo and go nuts.

Tests

Tested by highly trained primates in North America.
