While nb-mermaid
will work with any Jupyter kernel, IPython provides a way to capture loading an extension directly in a cell as a %linemagic
:
%reload_ext mermaid
If you take a look at the ipynb
source, you'll see this embeds a tiny bit of javascript that will first try to hit your server's nbextensions
directory, but failing that will fall back to the nb-mermaid github repository. This means you can use it to publish on nbviewer.jupyter.org.
