Create New Notebook

Create a new Jupyter notebook with Jupytext pairing and register it in the manuscript.

Arguments

• $ARGUMENTS — the notebook name and title (e.g., "notebook-02 Regression Analysis")

Steps

1. Parse the name and title from the arguments. Follow the naming convention: notebook-NN.ipynb (sequential numbering)
2. Check notebooks/ for existing notebooks to determine the next number
3. Create the .ipynb file in notebooks/ with:
   • The correct kernel (ask user: Python, R, or Stata)
   • A first code cell with the setup appropriate for the chosen kernel:
     • Python: import sys; sys.path.insert(0, ".."); from config import set_seeds, DATA_DIR; set_seeds()
     • R: source("../config.R"); set_seeds()
     • Stata: clear all followed by set seed 42
   • A markdown cell with the notebook title
4. Create the Jupytext .md pair by running: uv run jupytext --set-formats ipynb,md:myst notebooks/<name>.ipynb
5. Register the notebook in _quarto.yml under manuscript.notebooks:

   - notebook: notebooks/<name>.ipynb
     title: "N<number>: <title>"
   

6. Confirm the notebook renders: quarto render notebooks/<name>.ipynb
