Rise: Jupytext breaks RISE!

[cecilialee]

After I've installed the extension Jupyter extension Jupytext, RISE is broken with its css style.

I placed a custom css file with the same name as the .ipynb in the same directory. And with the RISE presentation button, the slides rendered perfectly with custom styles.

I installed Jupytext through conda,

conda install -c conda-forge jupytext

When I relaunch the Jupyter Notebook, and click the presentation button again. The style of the slides is broken. The css is broken and the custom css could not render successfully.

I got the error as such:

Certainly, I do not see how Jupytext could break RISE.
AFAIK, Jupytext is not playing with CSS files at all (I could be missing something).
Can you give us more details about versions of notebook, RISE, jupytext, browser, etc.

Hey there
I'm facing something similar, although maybe not quite exactly the same

my issue is that when using a jupytext-enabled notebook whose name is not a .ipynb - say it is called myslideshow.md - then neither rise.css nor myslideshow.css get loaded

obviously this code here was written in a pre-jupytext era:
https://github.com/damianavila/RISE/blob/f235facf867a288d406731ce1081bee82280d5b8/rise/static/main.js#L499-L513

that looks like an easy enough fix; I'll try to tackle that shortly

[parmentelat]

people interested in trying this out can use the prerelease 5.6.1.dev1 of rise with

pip install -U --pre rise

[damianavila]

@parmentelat we should have a 5.6.1 release soon, IMHO. Is there any other fix you want to include?
I will revisit the latest issues and PRs soon and it will be great if you have any thoughts about what we should include in the next point release.

[parmentelat]

@damianavila
there has been some hiccups with the feature about keybindings, which caused me to iterate a couple times; as you may have seen I have released 5.6.1.dev3 that works for me at this point

however this keybindings thing would clearly prompt for some testing before we ship an official release IMHO

apart from that, all the small fixes that I thought were belonging in a 5.6 have been integrated in maint-5.6

Just to confirm that I am facing the same issue:

• When trying to open myslideshow.ipynb, myslideshow.css gets blocked (403) together with rise.css (403)

• When opening slides.md with Jupytext enabled, neither rise.css nor myslideshow.css gets loaded

The only quick fix for both issues is to inject the required css code into the notebook through using .../static/custom/custom.css. The exact path for customs.css varies in different Jupyter Notebook versions:
