Jupyter Sphinx

Jupyter Sphinx is a Sphinx extension that executes embedded code in a Jupyter kernel, and embeds outputs of that code in the document.

Using Jupyter Sphinx with MCL Theme

pip install jupyter-sphinx
# or
uv add --group docs jupyter-sphinx

Then, you should activate it:

More information is available on extension’s homepage.
