2024-01-22 Nathaniel M. Foley-Beaver This addon opens local .ipynb files and renders them completely offline. To do this, it builds on existing open-source components like an iPython notebook parser (notebook.js, https://github.com/jsvine/notebookjs) and math rendering engine (katex.js, https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX). There are sometimes rendering differences for unusual notebooks but in general this works very well.

2021-04-27 Sam I have the same problem - text is displayed in white, that means I can't read it, which is quite a problem. Besides that, a very helpful tool, if I could just read the text :)
2021-04-06 chljeffrey Everything's great except that it suddenly displays text as white so I can't read them. Really convenient though.
