First off, I want to congratulate everyone who contributes to this project. I loved ipython when it was just an enhanced shell, and the notebook functionality is just amazing! I am using it to keep class notes for an online class I'm taking which uses python as the teaching language and it really helps.<br>
<br>I have also been looking at the nbconvert project as well, and have some questions coming out of that experience:<br><br>It looks like I can only get tables in a markdown cell by embedding actual raw HTML for a table. While this displays OK, nbconvert cannot display it properly, so I looked for an alternative by trying to use the core.display classes like so:<font size="4"><br>
</font><pre><font size="4"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">from IPython.core.display import Latex<br>Latex(r"""[some latex markup]""")</span><br></font></pre><font size="4"><br>
<font>This appears to work for equations and such, but does not appear to work for a tabular environment with code such as:<br></font></font><br>\begin{tabular}{ l c r }
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">        1 & 2 & 3 \\</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">        4 & 5 & 6 \\</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">        7 & 8 & 9 \\</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">\end{tabular}</p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><br></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">
All I get is an outline box containing the LaTeX markup itself.</p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><br></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">
Any corrections, suggestions, or workarounds would be welcome.</p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><br></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">
