LaTeX Creation and MyST Markdown Updates

[rowanc1]

This is an issue to track progress on automatically converting the book to LaTeX using https://mystmd.org. There are updates needed for (1) the mystmd processor, (2) configuration changes in this repository and minor content changes; (3) theme changes if/when mystmd is adopted for the HTML rendering (e.g. with hover previews).

Features needed for MyST Markdown CLI

• Removing/hiding cells 🤫 Remove hidden block content in renderers jupyter-book/mystmd#681
• Hide cells in latex (collab button) 🏷 Add no-tex tag jupyter-book/mystmd#685
• improve image writing 🎆Write images when serializing, not during mdast processing jupyter-book/mystmd#721
• Read HTML from outputs and render in latex
• Reading headers when not in the first cell
• Rendering out as "book/chapter" latex (with includes for each chapter)
• multi/sub-figures, should work in latex as well (\begin{code}[h] bug)
