pandas dataframe to latex table Solved!

[martinlarsalbert]

Hi,

I've been using jupyter book to create a scientific paper:
jupyter notebooks -> jupyter book -> latex -> PDF

This worked reasonably well except that I did not manage to get pandas dataframes converted into LaTeX tables.
This is strange, since it works fine when html files are built.

I used the {list-table} to get the dataframes into latex by writing my own converter from dataframe to this format and then pasted it into a markdown cell.
This was not a very nive solution...

...I've been looking at the MySTNB code to try to understand how to fix this. Could I get some help to point me in the right direction to fix this?

I've been experimenting with altering the renderer for mime_type=="text/html":

This solution works when building html but still not LaTeX... :(

I found a solution:

the latex builder does not handle the "text/html" mimetype
if this one is added: "text/html"
https://github.com/martinlarsalbert/MyST-NB/blob/master/myst_nb/core/render.py#L1257

        "latex": {
            "application/pdf": 10,
            "image/png": 20,
            "image/jpeg": 30,
            "text/latex": 40,
            "text/markdown": 50,
            "text/html":55,
            "text/plain": 60,
        },

The conversion pandas dataframe to table works in LaTeX also!
This was also explaining why this previously worked in html, but not in latex.
