KeenWrite VS JupyterLab

KeenWrite is my free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown editor that can produce beautifully typeset PDFs. I started working on it years ago to help write a novel that has a complex timeline and I couldn't find a text editor that would allow me to integrate a character sheet with the story itself.

Here's what I mean by using variables directly:

CommonMark doesn't propose a standard for bibliographic references. Would anyone find the editor more appealing if it had cross-references and citations?

My cross-platform desktop text editor, KeenWrite, allows users to define variables in an external YAML file. The editor calls out to Kroki[1] to convert text-based diagrams to SVG. The diagrams can reference variables and are rendered using EchoSVG[2].

KeenWrite[3] can produce PDF documentation from Markdown documents that has PlantUML diagrams with elements stored in an external, machine-readable file. Here are screenshots showing variables on the left, diagram text in the middle, and a real-time render on the right:

KeenWrite supports all diagrams offered by Kroki, which includes "diagram-plantuml".

Although not interactive, I've created a video series that shows advanced usage of Markdown. Namely R, external variables, diagrams, math, annotations, and a different approach to metadata:

Tutorial 4 shows basic Markdown:

The top-right of each video shows keyboard and mouse clicks to help follow along.[1] My desktop text editor, KeenWrite[2], is used in the tutorials.

My template script provides a way to make user-friendly shell scripts. In a script that uses the template, you define the dependencies and their sources:

I didn't create the fork, nor am I affiliated with the project. I use it in my text editor, KeenWrite to rasterize SVG.

KeenWrite Themes[1] are instructions that tell ConTeXt how to typeset XHTML documents (content) into PDF files (presentation). I made a tutorial that shows how my FOSS desktop text editor, KeenWrite[3], allows users to write in Markdown to typeset a document against a particular theme.

Before it can be used for scientific papers, it needs cross-references, which, unfortunately, aren't part of the CommonMark specification.

I posit that the vast majority of LaTeX users don't grok how to separate content from presentation. When I asked a question on TeX.SE about how to adjust the line spacing between enumerated items (spanning a couple dozen enumerated lists), the vast majority of people voted for the answer of using `\itemsep0em` to tweak each list ... individually.[4] The correct answer, IMO, is to fix the problem globally, and not waste time tweaking individual lists.

Does this allow to run a long running task in the background so that a user can close & reopen the tab and continue seeing all the output that has been produced thus far?

This is currently being worked on in Jupyter: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/15448

This is a problem with codemirror 6. You can upvote https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/14589 and help by contributing (or sponsor someone to do so)

That whole issue feels so stupid.

I quite enjoy jupyter lab otherwise, even if a lot of it is brittle and annoying.

Could you add your details to https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/14625 it seems like a browser specific kssue

This will be possible in JupyterLab 4.0 and Jupyter Notebook 7 to be released in Q2/Q3 this year, see https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/13285

The posted SO is irrelevant. The true answer is that a new dependency included in 3.6 did not have binaries for some platforms. These were now uploaded so after refreshin pip cache you should be good to go. If it still does not work please post details in https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/13920

After a quick look I found the same issue here.

Yes, Jupyter notebook has used CodeMirror for nearly a decade. The official Jupyter notebook has never used Monaco, but the Google version (colab) uses Monaco in order to very nicely leverage LSP support (similar to VS Code). There is preliminary work under way right now to switch from CodeMirror 5 to CodeMirror 6 in the official Jupyter project, but that's going to be significant work (see https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/11638).

It doesn't seem like there is much overlap between Replit and Jupyter notebooks right now, as far as I can tell...

With the support of a team member with prior experience auditing for accessibility, we pinpointed specific ways in which JupyterLab lacked support for accessibility broken up by WCAG 2.1 standards.
