voila-tufte is a custom Voilà template using Tufte.css in order to render Jupyter notebooks following the guidelines outlined in Edward Tufte works.
Voilà technology allows to turn Jupyter notebooks into standalone webapps. It allows the scientific community to share its work and current research combining the power of code (initially in Python, but today language-agnostic) with a narrative format offered by notebooks.
On the other hand, Edward Tufte has outlined long ago the fundamental principles regarding the quantitative display of information. To me, every scientist should have read Tufte books and gain the real sense of what "data plotting" really means.
Now, it's time to combine both.
However, Voilà process Jupyter notebooks into webapps. As of now, it is not possible to simply load a custom .css file into a Jupyter notebook. Hence, one must install custom templates to be able to do so. Hence this repository.
At some point, we hope to merge this work with voila-vuetify.
voila-tufte can be installed from PyPI
pip install voila-tufte
To use the tufte template, just pass --template=tufte to the voila command line:
voila --template tufte tufte_example.ipynb
