rst2ipynb
=========

This project provides a way to convert standalone
`reStructuredText `_ files
to `Jupyter notebook `_ files.

This is currently achieved by converting to markdown using
`pandoc `_ and then to a Jupyter notebook using
`notedown `_, plus some
configuration and tweaks. A better approach would be to implement
a proper Jupyter-export extension for Sphinx.

NEWS (2017-10): you may want to explore the recent https://github.com/QuantEcon/sphinxcontrib-jupyter/ that does just this.

Requirements
------------

Python 3 (for proper UTF-8 support in notedown), pandoc, notedown

Installation
------------

Install `pandoc `_ and then this module as usual::

git clone https://github.com/nthiery/rst-to-ipynb.git
cd rst-to-ipynb
pip3 install .

pip3 will install the other dependencies as needed.

For [SageMath](http://sagemath.org) users: `rst2ipynb` is an optional package that you may install with:

sage -i rst2ipynb

then you can run it with:

sage -rst2ipynb ...

For [Cocalc](http://cocalc.org) users: `rst2ipynb` is already installed.

Usage
-----

To convert a reST file ``xxx.rst`` to a Jupyter notebook ``xxx.ipynb``, run::

rst2ipynb xxx.rst -o xxx.ipynb

Example
-------

- reST document: `all.rst `_
- Produced Jupyter notebook: `all.ipynb `_

TODO
----

- [X] Handle Sage's doctests
- [X] Fenced code blocks: fix incompatibility between pandoc output and notedown input.
Fixed in notedown; see: https://github.com/aaren/notedown/issues/29.
- [ ] Configurability of the default ReST role, in particular to handle maths in Sage's ReST dialect.
Current status: hardcoded for Sage.
- [ ] Configurability of custom ReST roles, in particular to handle Sage's custom roles
- [ ] Proper argument parsing; escape characters, spaces, ... are not
yet supported
- [ ] Handle input/output blocks within itemize and other indented constructions
See https://github.com/aaren/notedown/issues/33
