munchboka-edutools 0.4.1

Sphinx/Jupyter Book directives and assets for Munchboka and VGS books

munchboka-edutools

Reusable Sphinx / Jupyter Book directives and assets for Norwegian educational content.

NEW: Includes muncho - a command-line tool for building beautiful, print-ready books with enhanced typography, layout, and automatic LaTeX math rendering for PDFs. See CLI_README.md for details.

Key Features

✨ Auto-configured Sphinx extensions for Jupyter Book
📚 Custom educational directives (quiz, dialogue, plots, animations, etc.)
🖨️ Print-optimized PDF builds with proper typography
🧮 Automatic PDF math rendering - LaTeX expressions work seamlessly in PDFs
🎨 Multiple build profiles (print, web, custom)
🎬 Animated plots - Create animations with transparent backgrounds (WebP/GIF)
📄 Print-friendly CSS - Browser "Print to PDF" creates clean problem sheets with answer keys

Install

pip install munchboka-edutools

Optional (nicer progress bars during slow builds, e.g. interactive-graph frame generation):

pip install munchboka-edutools[progress]

Usage

As Sphinx Extensions (Jupyter Book _config.yml)

sphinx:
  extra_extensions:
    - munchboka_edutools

All packaged directives are auto-registered. Static assets (including print-friendly CSS and JS) are placed under _static/munchboka/ during the build.

Print-Friendly PDFs

Simply press Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P) in your browser when viewing any page to create a clean PDF with:

• All tabs flattened with part labels (a, b, c, etc.)
• Answers and solutions hidden from main content
• Automatic answer key page at the end
• CAS popup buttons hidden
• Better page breaks

See docs/print_pdf.md for details.

As Build Tool

Build books with enhanced formatting:

# Print-optimized build (includes automatic PDF math rendering)
muncho build matematikk_1t --profile print

# Web-optimized build
muncho build matematikk_r1 --profile web

# See all options
muncho --help

PDF Math Rendering: When building PDFs, muncho automatically configures sphinx.ext.imgmath to render LaTeX math expressions as high-quality SVG images. No changes to your source files needed!

See CLI_README.md for full CLI documentation and QUICKSTART.md for a quick start guide.

Development

Clone and install dev extras:

pip install -e .[dev]

Local demo book

Build the embedded demo book:

jupyter-book build book/

Adding a new directive

1. Create src/munchboka_edutools/directives/my_directive.py exposing setup(app).
2. The package auto-loads modules under munchboka_edutools.directives.
3. Add an example page in book/examples/.

Testing

Run tests:

pytest -q
