1 year ago The documentation is outdated here. We're in the process of updating docs and haven't gotten to that one yet, but what we have on formatters is here: https://github.com/dotnet/interactive/blob/main/docs/formatting.md
The Out-Display -MimeType parameter follows the same MIME type rules as described there.
Example MIME types that will work without some additional configuration are text/html, application/json, and text/csv;
Describe the bug
The internet had the same few sources and none of them are documentation - just things like blog post announcements from the product group with no links on to documentation. Can we get documentation and/or more example notebooks to show more mini use cases of cross language type interactions (which is what makes polyglot so enticing compared to jupyter). If documentation exists, make it findable. I have been trying to pull together a demo for the team for a few days now but getting a few simple things working is a struggle without documentation and it is tempting to just give up on polyglot till it has stabilized.
For example, Out-Display from the HTML.jpynb in the dotnet interactive repo shows usage under specifying a mime time - and executing it results in errors about no formatters - so where should I go to find info about what out-display can do, and what formatters are included without extensions...
