Scientific Communication and Reproducible Publishing in the Jupyter Ecosystem and Beyond

Jupyter Book is an open source project that allows you to build beautiful, publication-quality books and documents from Jupyter Notebooks and other computational content. MyST Markdown is a new flavor of CommonMark markdown that allows you to write more powerful, semantic, and extensible content with Markdown. Both of them build on top of open source ecosystems, and are developed by the Executable Books Project, a community dedicated to supporting tools for technical and scientific communication and interactive computing. This session will discuss the ways in which Jupyter Book and MyST Markdown extend Jupyter Notebooks for communicating complex computational ideas with publishing workflows. It will cover major parts of the writing workflow, discuss features that are particularly useful for computational content, and highlight integrations with the Jupyter ecosystem and beyond.
