new nbconvert, template

[PaulSoderlind]

This seems to fail on nbconvert 6.0.7:

jupyter nbconvert  --to script "$1" --config literate_config.py --template=literate.tpl 

(Same with --template-file=literate.tpl )

Skipping the --template=literate.tpl makes it run, but the markdown cells are dropped.

The changelog mentions changes to the template system

This is unfortunate.
I am unlikely to fix this, though i would accept a PR.
I don't actually use this, never have, i was just proving a point.

I think an option is to do something like:
JuPyTer -> Pluto -> Literate

I think packages for that might exist

[PaulSoderlind]

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look, but I doubt I can submit a useful PR (as I don't know much Python). With a bit of luck someone who does steps in. Who knows, this might actually be pretty simple to solve for someone with the right background.

Perhaps the README can be updated to say that this was a proof of concept and is no longer expected to work?

The package NBInclude provides a function nbexport(filename, notebookfile) that generates a .jl from a .pynb.
