Writing Executable content in markdown files

[jappavoo]

Hi Everyone,

This is probably a very naive scenario that I am trying to figure out. I want to only store markdown (.md) file in my book repository including using markdown for all my executable pages. However, I also want to be sure that all html versions get generated to include a JupyterHub launch button that will open the correct md file given that the repo will not have any .ipynb files.

I tried using the feature of juptext to associate my md files with ipynb files but this did not get me anywhere?

Is this possible? If so what is the right way of doing this? In the end do I always have to have ipynb files in my repo to ensure caching and correct launch behavior?

Sorry again if this is obvious but I could not figure it out from the documentation.
