Thanks for sharing, my VerTeX document system will not be based on Jupyter notebooks, but it will instead be based on a new acyclic graph data format which I call VerTeX, which parses and generates LaTeX documents. I haven’t decided on a specification yet for how Julia computations will be included in the text of it. My current specifications are more concerned with how to construct new documents from theorems and definitions. It is not ready yet for consumption, but I intend to publicize a paper with it soon, to demonstrate it.

> Somewhat tangentially related: I am currently creating a package that will allow people to maintain a database of LaTeX notes, and the Julia package will automatically be able to parse this database of LaTeX notes to extract citations, references, and it will allow authors to generate graph diagrams depicting the inter-relationship and dependencies of definitions, theorems, calculations, references, and results. It might be possible to substitute it in place of a docs system in the future, but f…

Theoretically, it should be possible to hook-in Jupyter notebooks also, but that is going to be much later.
