jupyter-book: PDF's do not respect hidden cells

ah yes - I think that particular feature hasn’t yet made its way into the Latex builder (cc @mmcky )

For the HTML builder - hmm I hadn’t thought about the best way to handle that. It’s a bit tricky going from interactive -> static PDF gracefully. So you’d expect a “hidden” cell (w/ a toggle button) to be removed in the final PDF?

And thanks 😃

@mmcky I think that’s reasonable. I will go ahead and merge it.

@AakashGfude given juptyerbook-latex is still in development – I think you can merge that branch into master to set that extension up. We can add new features and bug fixes via PR. It will make initial testing a bit easier. We should also add install instructions to the README while it is not available via pip

what do you think?

@amichuda – @AakashGfude is starting to look into this also and plans to make some headway for improvements to latex in jupyterbook-latex repo to hold transforms needed to improve latex support. So it would be great to work with you on this. (Currently that repo is empty but is a placeholder for work to be done on this).

As a starting guide to learn about sphinx transforms is in the developing extensions guide which gives you an overview of sphinx. There isn’t much documentation on transforms and post-transforms. The application interface is here and the actual code is well organised in sphinx repo.
