Rendering ipynb from qmd - trouble with extra spaces

[aletroux]

Hi,

I've just discovered Quarto and am experimenting it with the aim of using it for teaching - it's a Python module so I'd be generating a mixture of notes (html/pdf) and ipynb notebooks. I have the following input file (I called it test.qmd)

::: {#thm-line}
# Line

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as:

$$
y = mx + b
$$
:::

::: proof
Here is the proof.
:::

When I render this file using "quarto test.qmd --to ipynb" I get a Python notebook with the following text:

<span class="theorem-title">**Theorem 1 (Line) **</span>The equation of
any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as:

$$
y = mx + b
$$

<span class="proof-title">*Proof*. </span>Here is the proof.

I have two questions.

1. There is an extra space after "Theorem 1 (Line)" and before the "**" which means that the text isn't rendered in bold as intended. I wonder whether this is due to a problem with my markdown, or is it perhaps a bug? (Rendering either the qmd or the ipynb file to html or pdf doesn't have this problem...)

2. Is there a way to disable the html tags? I appreciate ipynb is an intermediate format for producing html, but it would be nice to be able to provide students with ipynb files without the extra markdown needed by Quarto, and without the html tags.

Hi @aletroux, when quarto converts the .qmd file to Jupyter Notebook, it tries to preserver the reverse operation, in this case, to convert from Jupyter Notebook to .qmd. In your exemple, the reverse operation is not possible without the HTML tags.

Hi @rgaiacs thanks for that info - so I'll just have to accept the html tags.

In your view is the space before the "**" a bug or can you see a problem with my markdown? (this is my question 1)
