- Updates1
Renders .ipynb (Jupyter notebook) files natively inside Obsidian — markdown cells as prose, code cells with syntax highlighting and execution-count badges, and outputs (text, tables, errors) inline.
Features
- Markdown cells rendered using Obsidian's own renderer — wikilinks, bold, italics, and all standard formatting work
- Code cells with Python syntax highlighting and
[N]execution-count badges - Stream output (
stdout/stderr) displayed as monospace text - Rich output — pandas and polars DataFrame HTML tables rendered with scrollable, theme-aware styling
- Error tracebacks with ANSI escape codes stripped for clean display
- Theme-aware — all colors use Obsidian CSS variables; works in light mode, dark mode, and any community theme
- No build step — plugin is plain JavaScript, no Node.js or npm required
