7 years ago the main problem with nbviewer is getting any custom css/js into the output. If it's an installation that you control, then you can use customized nbconvert commands, and it's relatively easy to inject whatever css/js is needed into the html output. However, for hosted installations like the rackspace nbviewer & github's nbviewer, the export command is fixed. This limit the options for adding css/js to including them in markdown, or as outputs of %%javascript cell magics. However, again, we run into problems because the markdown renderings are run through the google caja sanitizer, which strips style & script tags, and the javascript outputs are also implemented as untrusted, which makes them next to useless. This is unfortunate, but there isn't a huge number of ways around this, because the reason for these limitations (preventing malicious css/js from doing anything harmful) is solid, and so they're unlikely to be removed. If anyone has any alternative ideas, I'm all ears :ear:
As part of my workflow I push notebooks to a github repo. I then send a URL to a collaborator who can click on it to view/read the notebook. I understand that this is done using nbviewer which is run on rackspace as a service.
There are three extensions that I use to improve readability (Hide, TOC2 and Collapse Headings) that I'd like to work with the github nbviewer. Is there some way to make github nbviewer work with these?
