Development

Tutorials and examples are stored in the MyST Markdown format. They are automatically rendered by Sphinx in the local and online documentation. However, for development purposes, it can be useful to locally convert the MyST Markdown files into Jupyter notebooks (and vice versa). The conversion can be done with jupytext.

To locally convert MyST Markdown files into Jupyter notebooks:

jupytext docs/tutorials/tutorial.md --to ipynb

To locally convert Jupyter notebooks into MyST Markdown files:

jupytext docs/tutorials/tutorial.ipynb --to myst
