Display html, using %html magic (or some other way)

[haakenlid]

I want to use the %html magic from ipython, but it seems to not exist in this kernel. And there's not list magics either (see #8). I want to use a node script that generates html, and then display it in the output cell. Is there any other way to achieve this, except magice.

I found a relatively simple way to implement HTML output, see my gist here:

It's not secure (no checking for dangerous content in the HTML, etc) but that isn't necessary for my local development purposes.

There's another way to display html as well. The function display() which isn't documented in the readme, but is mentioned in issue #4 takes an optional mimetype argument. So displaying html is actually built in already.

display("<h1>Hello World</h1>", "text/html") 

Combined with react-dom-render you can display jsx like this:

%%babel
const React = require('react')
const ReactDOM = require('react-dom/server')
const renderJsx = jsx => display(ReactDOM.renderToStaticMarkup(jsx), 'text/html')
renderJsx(<h1>Hello World!</h1>)

My problem is solved. But I think it would be nice to mention the display() function in the main readme.
