[IPython-dev] newcommand in Markdown cells and nbconver

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira]

Thanks Matthias,

I'll have a look on custom templates and the preprocessor. Although it
would be nice to have the ability to tag cells for various purposes
(such as "ignore during export", "only/not on Latex/HTML export", etc).
