Dear mailing list.

I'm pleased to announce the latest release 0.4.0 of the Sphinx
extension "nbsphinx": https://nbsphinx.readthedocs.io/.

It allows you to take a bunch of Jupyter notebooks (plus some Markdown
and/or reStructuredText files if you want) and turn them into static
HTML pages and/or a LaTeX/PDF file.

If you don't want to save all those bulky code cell outputs in your
notebooks, nbsphinx can automatically execute your notebooks for you
(with the help of nbconvert) and include the outputs only when
building the HTML and LaTeX/PDF files.

For a list of changes please see
https://github.com/spatialaudio/nbsphinx/blob/master/NEWS.rst.

I normally don't make this kind of announcements, but this time I do,
because I want to direct your attention to the following fact:

For the first time, the LaTeX/PDF output doesn't totally suck!

Please have a look at the example PDF file and see for yourself:
https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/nbsphinx/0.4.0/nbsphinx.pdf#section.4

Feel free to compare it to the previous release:
https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/nbsphinx/0.3.5/nbsphinx.pdf#section.4

I would like to thank Jean-François B. (Github user @jfbu) for coming
up with the dark TeX magic that was necessary to make this happen.

I encourage all of you to try to use nbsphinx to convert a bunch of
your Jupyter notebooks to PDF files and report any problems that might
occur (https://github.com/spatialaudio/nbsphinx/issues).

Speaking of which, there are still a few known problems and limitations:

* SymPy equations are not left-aligned in LaTeX/PDF. We are working on
this: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/15625
This might also apply to other libraries that generate mathematical
expressions. Please report this to the respective maintainers.

* The bibliography appears in different places in HTML and LaTeX/PDF
output. See the documentation for a work-around to fix this.

* Equation references work only within one HTML page. In LaTeX/PDF
output, they also work between notebooks.

* Markdown tables look a bit boring in LaTeX/PDF output

* Matplotlib plots need a bit of extra care, see documentation for details

Have fun and feel free to share your positive as well as negative
experiences with nbsphinx!

cheers,
Matthias
