### Summary Closes #37308 Adds native rendering support for Jupyter notebook files (`.ipynb`) in Gitea using backend rendering, allowing users to view formatted notebooks with code cells, markdown, outputs, and visualizations directly in the repository browser. ### Motivation Jupyter notebooks are widely used in data science, machine learning, and scientific computing. Currently, Gitea displays `.ipynb` files as raw JSON, making them difficult to read. This feature enables users to view notebooks in a formatted, readable way similar to GitHub and GitLab. ### Implementation Approach **Evolution:** Initially implemented frontend rendering using `marked` and `Shiki` libraries. After review feedback, migrated to backend rendering for better performance, security, and consistency with Gitea architecture. #### Backend Rendering Advantages - Server-side HTML generation eliminates client-side parsing overhead - Integrates with Gitea existing markup sanitizer for security - Uses Chroma for syntax highlighting (consistent with code files) - Uses Goldmark for markdown rendering (consistent with `.md` files) - No additional frontend dependencies required - Better performance for large notebooks ### Features #### Supported Cell Types - **Markdown cells:** Rendered with Goldmark (tables, lists, links, code blocks, etc.) - **Code cells:** Syntax-highlighted with Chroma, execution counts, language detection from notebook metadata - **Output cells:** Multiple output types in a single cell #### Supported Output Types - ✅ Text/plain outputs - ✅ Images (PNG, JPEG, SVG) with base64 data URIs - ✅ HTML outputs (tables, DataFrames, formatted text) - ✅ LaTeX/math equations (rendered as code blocks) - ✅ Error outputs with traceback (styled in red) - ✅ Stream outputs (`stdout`/`stderr`) - ⚠️ Interactive widgets (Plotly, ipywidgets) show informative messages - ⚠️ JavaScript outputs show security warning (disabled for safety) #### Edge Cases Handled - Empty notebooks or notebooks with no outputs - Corrupted JSON with graceful error display - Mixed output types in single cell - Large base64-encoded images - Execution count of `null` or `0` - `nbformat` version compatibility (only renders `nbformat 4+`, shows message for older versions) ### Changes #### Backend (Go) - `modules/markup/jupyter/jupyter.go` (**NEW**) - Jupyter notebook renderer implementation - Parses `.ipynb` JSON structure and generates HTML - Integrates Chroma for code syntax highlighting - Integrates Goldmark for markdown cell rendering - Dynamic language detection from notebook metadata - Handles all standard Jupyter output types - Comprehensive error handling with user-friendly messages - `modules/markup/renderer.go` (**MODIFIED**) - Registered Jupyter renderer in markup system - `main.go` (**MODIFIED**) - Import Jupyter renderer package for initialization #### Styling (CSS) - `web_src/css/markup/jupyter.css` (**NEW**) - Comprehensive styling for notebook cells, code, outputs - Uses Gitea CSS variables for consistent theming - Responsive layout with proper spacing - Table styling for DataFrame outputs - Removed parent container padding for consistency with other renderers #### Sanitizer Rules - `modules/markup/jupyter/jupyter.go` → `SanitizerRules()` - Configured HTML sanitization rules for safe rendering: - Cell structure (markdown, code, input/output wrappers) - Code highlighting (Chroma classes) - Images (base64 data URIs only) - Tables (DataFrames) - Markdown elements (headers, lists, links, etc.) ### Security Considerations - Server-side rendering: No client-side JavaScript execution - HTML sanitization: Strict allowlist for HTML elements and attributes - Image security: Only base64 data URIs allowed (no external URLs) - JavaScript disabled: `application/javascript` outputs show warning - XSS protection: Gitea markup sanitizer handles all HTML output ### Testing Manual testing performed with various notebooks: - Markdown rendering (headers, lists, tables, links, code blocks) - Code cells with execution counts and syntax highlighting - Multiple output types (text, images, HTML, LaTeX, errors, streams) - Error handling for edge cases - Theme compatibility (light/dark mode) ### Screenshots <img width="1080" height="553" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aef9afa7-ed96-434d-98b0-b160565fc967" /> <img width="1092" height="552" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6e61e792-4737-41c1-851e-5c375c1f932a" /> <img width="1104" height="622" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4ac630c1-3a75-4e1c-9bba-c0a27484d001" /> <img width="1104" height="529" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/33750c47-70de-4ab2-893d-e5d09fa8d9c4" /> <img width="1111" height="343" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/52107d9f-0e06-420b-9ab4-1603dcd676b1" /> <img width="1091" height="650" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0addae21-efa4-44bb-a56e-0418e3d4d227" /> <img width="1077" height="298" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3a8c5be-638c-45ff-82f3-816264254ead" /> ### Dependencies No new dependencies required: - Chroma (existing) - Syntax highlighting - Goldmark (existing) - Markdown rendering - Standard library - JSON parsing ### Key Design Decisions - Backend rendering for performance and security - Reuses existing Gitea infrastructure (Chroma, Goldmark, sanitizer) - Consistent styling with other markup renderers - Graceful degradation for unsupported features --- **Development Note:** This PR was developed with assistance from Amazon Q Developer and Claude AI for implementation, debugging, and testing. --------- Signed-off-by: Karthik Bhandary <34509856+karthikbhandary2@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: karthik.bhandary <karthik.bhandary@kfintech.com> Co-authored-by: wxiaoguang <wxiaoguang@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: bircni <bircni@icloud.com>
Gitea
Purpose
The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.
As Gitea is written in Go, it works across all the platforms and architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, and Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures. This project has been forked from Gogs since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
For online demonstrations, you can visit demo.gitea.com.
For accessing free Gitea service (with a limited number of repositories), you can visit gitea.com.
To quickly deploy your own dedicated Gitea instance on Gitea Cloud, you can start a free trial at cloud.gitea.com.
Documentation
You can find comprehensive documentation on our official documentation website.
It includes installation, administration, usage, development, contributing guides, and more to help you get started and explore all features effectively.
If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute to it, you can visit the documentation repository
Building
From the root of the source tree, run:
TAGS="bindata" make build
The build target is split into two sub-targets:
make backendwhich requires Go Stable, the required version is defined in go.mod.make frontendwhich requires Node.js LTS or greater and pnpm.
Internet connectivity is required to download the go and npm modules. When building from the official source tarballs which include pre-built frontend files, the frontend target will not be triggered, making it possible to build without Node.js.
More info: https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-from-source
Using
After building, a binary file named gitea will be generated in the root of the source tree by default. To run it, use:
./gitea web
Note
If you're interested in using our APIs, we have experimental support with documentation.
Contributing
Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request
Note
- YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
- If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to security@gitea.io. Thanks!
Translating
Translations are done through Crowdin. If you want to translate to a new language, ask one of the managers in the Crowdin project to add a new language there.
You can also just create an issue for adding a language or ask on Discord on the #translation channel. If you need context or find some translation issues, you can leave a comment on the string or ask on Discord. For general translation questions there is a section in the docs. Currently a bit empty, but we hope to fill it as questions pop up.
Get more information from documentation.
