I just pushed to master a new parallel docs renderer. With this, you no longer need ipnb-filters in _quarto.yml. Instead, nbdev runs its own filters in parallel, and caches the results in a folder called _proc in the same directory as your nbs.
I haven’t made nbdev_preview work yet – for now you have to run nbdev_proc_nbs after you edit a notebook in order for the preview to see the changes. I’ll be working on that next.
Please let me know how this new approach works for you!
i’m a bit confused. does this mean this changes immediately for all? I’m asking because nbdev_proc_nbs is not mentioned in the current tutorial.
Also, with nbdev 2.2.10 I currently get a weird output from show_doc in JLab:
Yes will have to update the docs! This is a bit of a new change so we are waiting for it to settle.
That is perfectly ok. That is special markup that Quarto is using to display a link to the source code. Now that you bring it up this could be something we change (but not sure). cc: @jeremy @seem
No - “pushed to master” means that it’s only in git. It’s not in a release yet.
This is an issue we’ve been mulling over for a while now: Jupyter doesn’t know how to render Quarto syntax. I think it would be a big improvement if we could somehow extend Jupyter to support that
As a workaround, we could conditionally exclude it if in a notebook, but I don’t know if that’s worth doing. It’s not that bad that they show up IMO once you get used to it
Another workaround would be to use HTML everywhere directly
