Description

Notebooks are very suited for demonstration, but not ideal when it comes to maintaining and reusing the material. We have for a while discussed switching to another system, such as Sphinx. This is for tracking ideas and notes.

Sphinx

  • Initial attempt in #155.
  • Source in reStructuredText.
  • Allows search.
  • Can render UML diagrams written in mermaid through a plugin.

Research direction

Start by reading the initial Sphinx attempt in issue #155 and reviewing the existing notebook-based course material. The issue names no files or tests; done would require agreeing on the replacement system and a concrete migration scope, including the reStructuredText and Mermaid considerations.
