Exporting to ipynb format #41

Open alxempirical opened 8 years ago

alxempirical commented 8 years ago

It would be super-handy to be able to round-trip an ipython org notebook to the .ipynb format used by ipython notebook.

gregsexton commented 8 years ago

This could be useful for working with others I guess. The main issue is that Org is much more powerful than the ipynb format. This will likely be very lossy.

Org-mode Jupyter Backend looks to offer a start. Not round-trip, but at least org-mode could generate ipynbs. And lossyness is in the right direction if org file is considered the "source" document.

There's an awesome script by @jkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2017/01/21/Exporting-org-mode-to-Jupyter-notebooks/ Might make sense to join the efforts.

This looks interesting, but what I have found is when converting an org-mode file to ipynb, you have to have the human in the loop at some point. In other words, there is unavoidable manual labor. So here is the workflow I’ve settled on:

Because of ein-mode key bindings, the last step actually goes really quickly. ein-mode is a bit of a pain to get set up right, but once you have it working, it’s a dream.

I don't have that problem. What manual labor is required? So far my exporter turns org files into the notebooks I would expect with no intervention from me. It puts code blocks into code cells including results and everything else to markdown cells. It even manages inline images and HTML and Latex cells.

It is not an exporter in the usual sense. I parse the org file a little differently to split it into markdown cells and code cells. So the headline hierarchy is not preserved in the cells except through the markdown headings.

  • Write the org-mode file
  • Export the org buffer as markdown
  • Copy/paste the markdown into one Jupyter cell via ein-mode
  • Use ein-mode to split the cells and decide if they are code or markdown
