Deploying JupyterHub for Education

@choldgraf Yes… i’m running into so so so many issues with jupyter reports now. Let me tell you what i want. And i know it can happen because ive seen the beginning of this report via jupyter which R does so nicely with knitr

Chris have a look at this package:

Please note that currently while in theory this is a wonderful package in application it is very very buggy. (i have an issue open and have found more issues working with it via my students).

It does almost what i want. What i want is this (nbclean can so do this). And a template can be used to do what i also want which is an image caption.

Ok i want

  1. The ability to click on a cell and hide the code, hide the outputs, hide the little number next to the code.just like the hide_code module does but again it doesn’t do it well - lots of bugs but i love the interface so far. it’s easy and intuitive for me and students.
  2. I want to be able to then EXPORT that notebook as HTML or pdf with cell numbers, code, outputs etc hidden - just like the hide_code module could do but again it fails often in implementation across machines.
  3. I want the ability to add an image CAPTION to an output. I would want just one caption per cell. And i could see a “caption” box in the hide code toolbar that allowed you to type in caption text. That text would then go below the image and would be formatted slightly differently just to stand out a bit as a caption.

R knitr workflow does this. If this could be done easily then students could write reports AND papers AND blogs with jupyter easily. and they’d be so so happy and it would be a truly reproducible workflow with a report output connecting data, inputs and outputs. yay open science.

@choldgraf i’m so happy to test things if you are working on them and please also look at the hide_code module as a nice example of where this could go with an interface. What i see in yoru graphic above is a really great start towards building reports. but we want to customize the cells and hide code too and gosh captions would be lovely.

Thank you so much for pinging me on this! i’m really enjoying jupyter more and more :slight_smile: the community is wonderful!
