Feasibility of jupyterbook with matlab/octave

[joelmiller]

I'm teaching a second year mathematics course with students who have been taught some matlab. We will be writing a new set of notes, and I would like to do that through jupyterbook. Is there a way to get matlab (or octave) to work with it?

I've seen suggestions that this is doable with R, but matlab/octave is what I need.

thanks,
Joel

Hi @joelmiller,

Jupyter has a Octave kernel, https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-octave/ (you can read the announcement at https://blog.jupyter.org/a-jupyter-kernel-for-gnu-octave-b6d29e56341f). My understanding is that if you have the Octave kernel configured on the machine that is creating the book and set the Octave kernel in the Jupyter Notebooks, you should be able to write your project.
