Executable Books

An open collaboration to create executable books with Jupyter

Executable Books

The Executable Books Project is an international collaboration to build open source tools that facilitate publishing computational narratives using the Jupyter ecosystem.

We are a community who steward:

  • Jupyter Book: Build beautiful, publication-quality books and documents from computational material like Jupyter Notebooks.
  • MyST Markdown: An extended Markdown format designed for the future of technical communication and publication.

As well as many other tools for parsing, headless execution of Jupyter Notebooks (caching and in the browser), popular sphinx extensions (e.g. copy-button, sphinx-design, sphinx-thebe), and many scientific templates for writing journal articles and presentations.

Contribute to a Project 👩‍💻

Ask a question or show and tell the community about your project or use of MyST, or come to a monthly team meeting.

All of our projects are open source and welcome and and all contributions -- from documenting problems you run into, adding to documentation, telling people about your project and our mission, and of course contributing to the code! Please review our Code of Conduct to learn about some of the conventions we follow.

Be inspired, build a book ✨📖✨

Our Gallery of Jupyter Books has contributions from across the community. See the Jupyter Book documentation to get up and running to create your first online book, with executable, interactive content.

Learn about MyST Markdown ✍️👩‍🔬

Visit https://mystmd.org to see an interactive demo of working with MyST -- an extensible and powerful markup language for technical writing. You can use it to create books, write scientific papers, or use MyST in JupyterLab.
