LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie]

> knitr integration...

Thanks.

I don't use R, so I guess knitr is not useful to me. [In in the JU corner of Jupyter...] There is also Quarto which is developed in the R community, although it can also be used with other languages. Don't know how Quarto scales to large documents, though... My experience is that Jupyter Notebooks start to become slow with documents in the order of some 30 pages (i.e., with plenty of plots), while LyX is still quick with documents in the order of 1000 pages.

You might also want to check how knitr integrates into lyx (basically embedding R code into lyx).
