Description
I noticed two minor issues in our online docs, now that we've switched to the hip new HTML repr by default.
-
Most doc pages still show text, not HTML. I suspect this is a limitation of the IPython sphinx derictive we use for our snippets. We might be able to fix that by switching to jupyter-sphinx?
-
The "attributes" part of the HTML repr in our notebook examples looks a little funny, with strange blue formatting around each attribute name. It looks like part of the outer style of our docs is leaking into the HTML repr:

Research direction
Reproduce the two problems in the online documentation: notebook snippets show text instead of the HTML repr, and the attributes in the multidimensional-coords example have unexpected blue styling. Start by reviewing the IPython Sphinx directive and compare it with jupyter-sphinx. Done means doc snippets render the HTML repr and the attributes no longer inherit the outer documentation styling.
