jupyter-book VS Asciidoctor

Sphinx supports ReStructuredText and Markdown.

MyST-Markdown supports MathJaX and Sphinx roles and directives. https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

jupyter-book supports ReStructuredText, Jupyter Notebooks, and MyST-Markdown documents:

You can build Sphinx and Jupyter-Book projects with the ReadTheDocs container, which already has LaTeX installed: https://github.com/executablebooks/jupyter-book/issues/991

myst-templates/plain_latex_book:

your task is very very broad

you mention you don't want to deal with AWS, if it's because of ad-hoc installation concerns and nothing else you can just run your notebooks in ready-made solutions like Google Colab, or Jupyter-book in Github ( https://github.com/executablebooks/jupyter-book ))

that would cover a lot of use cases right away without next to no learning curve

If you don't want to deal with AWS or similar, in that case:

- if it's a static notebook then you can obviously render it and serve the web content (might seem obvious but needs to be considered)

- if it's dynamic but has light hardware requirements, you can try jupyterlite which runs in the browser and should do a pyodine (webassembly CPython kernel) can do: https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/try/lab/

- otherwise, you can try exposing a dockerised jupyter env ( as in https://github.com/MKAbuMattar/dockerized-jupyter-notebook/b... ) or even better a nixified one ( https://github.com/tweag/jupyenv )

there might be other approaches I'm missing, but I think that's pretty much it that doesn't entail some proprietary solution or an ad-hoc installation as you've been doing

Note: If you want to present a cleaner version of the notebook without assertions, you can use Jupyter book to render it into a site and use the remove-cell tag to omit assertions from the output.

See this thread for example.

And maybe take a look at executablebooks/jupyter-book.

Our team has transferred from Sphinx for documentation to JupyterBook. There have been some growing pains with it but I prefer the look of the output and being able to play with the examples on Colab or Binder at the click of a button is a great feature.

AsciidocFX, is an open-source, cross-platform editor that provides an exceptional user experience and a comprehensive set of features for working with Asciidoc files. Though Asciidoctor provides these capabilities, not everyone will be comfortable enough to work in the commandline or shell setting that's where AsciidocFX comes to the rescue. Let's explore some of the key capabilities that make AsciidocFX stand out.

You have also AsciiDoctor ( https://asciidoctor.org/ ) which is alive and well. I am using it for technical CS documentation internally, but only for single page documents. I did not try to deploy their whole multi-document setup called Antora ( https://antora.org/ ).

AsciiDoc File support. ( #1876, #808, #2022)

If Maths is important to you, take a look at Asciidoc - https://asciidoctor.org/

I use Asciidoctor, highlightjs, a custom highlight.js language definition and that bash script:

AsciiDoc is so close to being good. It slam dunks Markdown, but they just have a few nagging issues that they refuse to fix, for 9 years now:

Asciidoctor is a Ruby-based text processor for parsing AsciiDoc into a document model and converting it to HTML5, PDF, EPUB3, and other formats. Built-in converters for HTML5, DocBook5, and man pages are available in Asciidoctor. Asciidoctor has an out-of-the-box default stylesheet and built-in integrations for MathJax (display beautiful math in your browser), highlight.js, Rouge, and Pygments (syntax highlighting), as well as Font Awesome (for icons). Although Asciidoctor is written in Ruby, that does not mean you need to know Ruby to use it. Asciidoctor can be executed on a JVM using AsciidoctorJ or in any JavaScript environment (including the browser) using Asciidoctor.js. You can choose any one of three Asciidoctor processors (Ruby, JavaScript, Java/JVM) and get the same experience. You can also use the Asciidoctor Maven Plugin to convert your Asciidoc documentation using Asciidoctor from an Apache Maven build.

asciidoctor for writing
