Just to extend onto what Brian said, JupyterLab will make the editing experience much better.

For this we need to hook into nbconvert (likely). I don't know how plot.ly/datatable inject javascript into the live notebook, but his way may not register itself correctly to be embeded into the exported html document. The other possibility is opening the html file by double clicking may restrict the javascript execution. So opening a local server may make the file work better. Unfortunately is this is the reason why plot.ly/datatable do not work there is not much we can do. it's probably the case as plot.ly works on nbviewer.ipython.org, and that's "just" a custom theme on nbconvert. We'll see what we can do for that. Thanks ! -- Matthias On Sat, Jun 10, 2017 at 6:18 PM, Brian Granger <[email protected]> wrote: > Jeff, > > Hi! This is an area we are actively working on.
