MyST Markdown
Markdown with superpowers for writing scientific 👨🔬 and technical 📈papers. #OpenSource & maintained by Project #Jupyter.
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownAdding an `anywidget` style/based directive & renderer into the core @mystmd.org stack is a big win for custom interactivity and extensibility. My contribution this week: to round off the first cut implementation - based on what've had in prod at @curvenote.com. opensci.dev/articles/ups...
- 🛳️ New release of myst-theme ! This is a patch release to fix a bunch of UI/UX bugs that we uncovered after the last minor release. Thanks to everybody for testing and quick feedback! github.com/jupyter-book...
- We're proud to announce a new release of the Jupyter Book stack! This brings in a number of fixes and UI improvements! Check out release notes for each here: mystmd 1.8: github.com/jupyter-book... myst-theme 1.1: github.com/jupyter-book... jupyter-book 2.1.1: github.com/jupyter-book...
- This release brings more control over *concurrent execution* of notebook content as part of this build process. This allows you to define the number of simultaneous executions when your book builds to ensure they occur more sequentially, or reduce bugs if notebooks spawn their own parallel processes
- It also standardizes and improves the behavior of links so that interactive, external, and internal links now have distinct and consistent styles so that your readers know what to expect.
- This release was created by a community of maintainers, thanks to the Jupyter Book community for all of their support of the project! Check out the release notes above for a list of the people that contributed to each release. 🎉
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownRunning live previews with the @mystmd.org CLI on a JupyterHub has been a challenge so far - the available theme servers are not setup well to support this. We've made progress on a solution that's almost ready to share, meantime this explains the problems it solves: opensci.dev/articles/jup...
- The page-last-updated plugin is a MyST plugin to make it clear to readers when your content was updated on each page. Here's a little post about how it works and where to learn about more plugins like it! blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2026/p...
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownI (and we @mystmd.org) have been working on releasing new version of the MyST Markdown AST. A foundational change to the representation of Jupyter outputs that sets up a lot of future possibilities - notes and thoughts are here: opensci.dev/articles/on-...
- The Jupyter Book team has been working hard on a big foundational improvement to how notebook outputs are represented in MyST documents. Steve writes about this change and what it means in this post: blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2025-1...
- There's an ongoing community discussion about this change, and we invite feedback from others in this MyST Enhancement Proposal discussion: github.com/jupyter-book...
- This lays the foundation for building more enriched and precise workflows around notebook outputs. We now treat *each output* from a cell independently, laying a foundation to enable things like generating labels with notebook cells. Here's a PR to follow along: github.com/jupyter-book...
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownWe've just moved our `any-widget` based directives and renders for @mystmd.org into a public repo on @curvenote.com . After quite a while tinkering these are nicely supporting interactive visualizations - more work to fully implement the full `any-widget` interface coming github.com/curvenote/cu...
- The Jupyter Book gallery is back! Now with the MyST Engine under the hood! Thanks to @FreekPols for contributing it. jupyterbook.org/latest/galle...
- We recently pushed Jupyter Book 2, which was a breaking change for many of our users! We considered publishing a completely different package (e.g., `jupyter-book2`) but decided against it. Here's a quick rationale why:
- JupyterBook 2 is released! This is now built on top of the @mystmd.org engine directly. 🚀 Please reach out on our GitHub discussions if you have any problems upgrading.
- Reposted by MyST Markdown🚀 Exciting news! The SciPy 2025 Proceedings are officially published: 👉 proceedings.scipy.org/2025 Huge thanks to the Proceedings Committee, @curvenote.com, Jim Weiss, all the authors, and reviewers who made this happen. 🙌
- Reposted by MyST Markdown@creativecommons.bsky.social and @continuous.foundation are teaming up to make reuse the default for modular science. Join the cohort working to shape incentives for reuse in modular science. The group will kick off in January 2026. Apply by Sunday, Nov 30 continuousfoundation.org/reuse-form
- 🚨 New paper! The @jupyterbook.org team just published a peer-reviewed paper in the SciPy Proceedings describing the design & architecture of Jupyter Book 2 and the MyST Document Engine! 📝 blog post: blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2025-j... 📄 paper: proceedings.scipy.org/articles/hwc...
- There are several core principles behind this project: simple to use yet extensible machine-readable content modular & composable docs federated APIs computation as first-class content
- We're also excited to lean into "content as structured data". MyST documents are represented as a structured abstract syntax tree (AST), making them canonical and machine-readable. This enables powerful transformations and remixing across projects.

- Reposted by MyST Markdown@mystmd.org 1.5 is out, along with an updated web theme! github.com/jupyter-book... github.com/jupyter-book... Improved site footers, hidden entries and external URLs in table of contents, better UI for in-browser execution plus improved docs and bug-fixes.
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownRelease notes from the 1.4 release of @mystmd.org - the team made a bunch of improvements on social media links, plugin functionality, and documentation for contributors and developers! github.com/jupyter-book...
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownA Jupyter Book team goal over the past months has been improving the documentation for users and contributors in the @mystmd.org project. I wanted to share two important pages with big updates! A conceptual overview of MyST: mystmd.org/guide/overview Our developer guide: mystmd.org/guide/develo...
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownThe @mystmd.org theme now has support for "page edit" buttons! These take you directly to the source page in GitHub so that you can quickly make an edit. They are so useful! Many thanks to Kira for getting this in with her first contribution to the MyST Theme! github.com/jupyter-book...
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownThanks to Stefan for a big-ish improvement to the contributing and developer documentation docs. This kind of thing is critical for growing an open source project like @mystmd.org and it's really hard to write when you've been working on it for a long time! github.com/jupyter-book...
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownA @mystmd.org appreciation moment: making presentations with notebooks is SO much easier! I presented today with slides + notebooks on intake-esgf/intake-esm, with materials available on this website mgrover1.github.io/esds-intake-...
- Reposted by MyST Markdown🚀 You can now explore an analysis inside of a scientific paper! @row1.ca shows you how to connect data, software, and story into interactive, dynamic publications using @mystmd.org 📺 Watch now -> youtu.be/zrwt0PX5mdM?... #OpenScience #Reproducibility #science #opensource
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownWohoo we can define custom CSS stylesheets with @mystmd.org github.com/jupyter-book... (in the next release)

- Reposted by MyST MarkdownHey there 🦋🧪, we're a new open access microscopy journal and wanted to introduce ourselves! EM aims to modernize scientific publishing for microscopy, by prioritizing open science, transparency, and accessibility and using open-source formats and interactive notebooks 🙌 @curvenote.com @mystmd.org 🚀
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownNew MyST proposal! It's for a short-hand way to add classes/options/labels to roles and directives. Read and comment here: github.com/jupyter-book... This will unlock a lot of functionality for extending roles in particular, I'm really excited about it! (led by @row1.ca and @agoose77.bsky.social)
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownWoo! @mystmd.org can now hide inputs/outputs of jupyter notebook cells via tags! Thanks @row1.ca for the contribution! github.com/jupyter-book...
- Reposted by MyST MarkdownStill science in 2024: "Our figure 2 shows this result clearly. Please scroll down 30 PAGES to see it..." PS with @curvenote.com journals, inline figures can go full-width, and any reference to a figure shows it in a hover popup.
- Why do journals insist on requiring figures at the end of the file? Haven't editors reviewed enough manuscripts to realize it's much easier to check a fig. when it's near the paragraph where it is cited? Make reviewers' lives easier - you're already not paying them! #ScientificPublishing #PeerReview
