Lots of features for scientific and technical writing:

- callouts and admonitions (works the same as JupyterBook!)
- proofs, exercises, glossaries

- inline execution for variables and widgets
- editable task lists
- rich frontmatter (title, authors, affiliations, licenses, github links!)

Works in the notebook and on markdown files.
