I’ve used livebook to pull together some statistics and VegaLite graphs for a research project, and now I’m wondering about how to best share this notebook alongside the published paper. I was expecting a similar level of friction as with sharing Jupyter notebooks: some readers will be able to fork my repository and run the notebook locally or on a cloud provider, but IMHO casual readers should be able to passively see the code and its outputs.

What I found is that some major hosts such as Github are correctly mapping .livemd to render as Markdown, but the outputs are formatted badly and special content such as VegaLite images will not be included when viewed this way (example livebook on Github). As a workaround, I’d like to export the livebook as a PDF and include that in the repo—this is easy in Jupyter, for example. Unfortunately, livebook is built in such a way that both Firefox and Chromium can export only the first page, apparently because the content is within a scrolling container. Are there any other methods of exporting the content so it can be used by casual readers?
