Failed to generate the workable jupyter notebooks based on this project with xsltproc.

Dear Dr. Sean Fitzpatrick,

I noticed your lecture notes for Math 3410 in PreTeXt on the Open Math Textbooks website here. On Ubuntu 20.04, I try to generate the corresponding Jupyter notebooks of the chapter (or section) which include python codes the latest git master version of mathbook and libxslt as shown below:

$ xsltproc --version
Using libxml 20910, libxslt 10134-GITv1.1.34-71-g5430f5d7 and libexslt 820
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20910, libxslt 10134 and libexslt 820
libxslt 10134 was compiled against libxml 20910
libexslt 820 was compiled against libxml 20910

$ git clone https://github.com/sean-fitzpatrick/Math3410.git sean-fitzpatrick/Math3410.git
$ cd Math3410.git
$ mkdir jupyter
$ cd jupyter
$ pyenv shell datasci
$ xsltproc --stringparam publisher ../publication/publication.xml --stringparam jupyter.kernel python --xinclude ../../../rbeezer/mathbook.git/xsl/pretext-jupyter.xsl ../ptx/3410notes.ptx

As you can see, it will generate so many ipynb files. But I just want to obtain the specific ipynb files which indeed including some python commands. Any hints will be highly appreciated.

OTOH, though I've generated ipynb files listed above, when opened with jupyter notebook, they are all invalid, the error is as follows:

Unreadable Notebook: /home/werner/Public/repo/github.com/sean-fitzpatrick/Math3410.git/jupyter/sec-matrix-operator.ipynb NotJSONError('Notebook does not appear to be JSON: \'{\\n"cells": [\\n{"cell_type": "code",...')

Any hints for fixing these problems are highly appreciated.

Regards, HY

NB. I also reported this issue on the pretext-support google group as a follow-up.

Most sections are not meant to produce functional notebooks. You can look here if you want pre-built notebooks.

Got it. Thank you very much.
