Gallery

[twiecki]

Using a hack to only use the parts of nbsphinx that are required for the gallery but does not clash with myst_nb.

Closes #327.

I couldn't yet figure out how to get it to work with md files rather than rst. I also couldn't figure out how to make it look only for *-ipynb files, it only worked with *.

@OriolAbril do you have an idea?

This looks promising, thanks!

I couldn't yet figure out how to get it to work with md files rather than rst.

Using rst for this page is not an issue, the notebooks continue to be jupyter notebooks which is the important part.

I also couldn't figure out how to make it look only for *-ipynb files, it only worked with *.

We can look into that, but it might be easier to just get rid of the python scripts mixed in there. Python scripts don't appear on the website nor make the list in the github traffic section which means that at most they get 5 visits a month. Otherwise they would appear in this traffic page. If some script is very important is should be made into a notebook, otherwise it is as if it didn't exist and will end up being removed at some point.

I'll try to take a better look next week and see if we can get the images to work and maybe also 4 columns in the thumbnails

Also allows to address #160.

So this isn't done yet, thumbnails aren't working. And the code is WIP, but it compiles for me locally and can be merged until I figure out thumbnails.
