Asciidoctor Jupyter Converter

A Jupyter converter for Asciidoctor.js. Write your Notebook in AsciiDoc!

Install

$ npm i asciidoctor-jupyter

Usage

In order to use this converter, you will need to install Asciidoctor.js. Verify that the asciidoctor command is now available on your PATH by running:

$ asciidoctor -v

From the CLI (Command Line Interface)

To convert an AsciiDoc file to a Jupyter Notebook, open a terminal and type:

$ asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-jupyter -b jupyter notebook.adoc

The above command will generate a file named notebook.ipynb.

From the API

const asciidoctor = require('@asciidoctor/core')()
const JupyterConverter = require('asciidoctor-jupyter')

// register the converter
asciidoctor.ConverterFactory.register(JupyterConverter, ['jupyter'])

// convert an AsciiDoc file
asciidoctor.convertFile('notebook.adoc', { backend: 'jupyter' })

Write your Notebook

Here's a basic example of notebook written in AsciiDoc:

= The Lorenz Differential Equations
:jupyter-language-name: python
:jupyter-language-version: 3.7.8
:url-ipywidgets: https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Before we start, we import some preliminary libraries.
We will also import (below) the accompanying `lorenz.py` file,
which contains the actual solver and plotting routine.

[source,python]
----
%matplotlib inline
from ipywidgets import interactive, fixed
----

We explore the Lorenz system of differential equations:

[latexmath]
++++
\begin{aligned}
\dot{x} & = \sigma(y-x) \\
\dot{y} & = \rho x - y - xz \\
\dot{z} & = -\beta z + xy
\end{aligned}
++++

Let's change (stem:[\sigma], stem:[\beta], stem:[\rho]) with {url-ipywidgets}[ipywidgets] and examine the trajectories.

[source,python]
----
from lorenz import solve_lorenz
w=interactive(solve_lorenz,sigma=(0.0,60.0),rho=(0.0,50.0))
w
----

For the default set of parameters, we see the trajectories swirling around two points, called attractors.

The object returned by `interactive` is a `Widget` object and it has attributes that contain the current result and arguments:

[source,python]
----
t, x_t = w.result
----

[source,python]
----
w.kwargs
----

And here's the result:

Document attributes

Name	Default Value	Mapping
jupyter-language-name	python	metadata.language_info.name
jupyter-language-version	3.9.1	metadata.language_info.version
jupyter-kernel-name	python3	metadata.kernelspec.name
jupyter-kernel-language	python	metadata.kernelspec.language

IMPORTANT: The language name defined in jupyter-language-name will be used to decide which AsciiDoc source blocks will be converted to Notebook code cells and which will be converted to Markdown cells. For instance, if the Jupyter language name is python the converter will convert source blocks that have the language python to code cells. Source blocks with other languages will be converted as Markdown cells.

Notebook file format

This converter generates [Jupyter notebooks] using Notebook file format version 4.4.
