# November Meeting 👇

## Welcome to the Team Meeting

Hello!

If you are joining the team video meeting, sign in below so we know who was here. Roll call:

- _Name / Affiliation / Handle_
- Matt McKay / ANU / mmcky
- Chris Sewell / AIDAA / chrisjsewell
- Ben Sanders / GS / cadr

## Reports, updates, and celebrations

This is a place to make announcements (without a need for discussion), short updates about what you've been up to, and shout-outs to contributors! We'll read through these at the beginning of the meeting.

- _Share updates or notable things below_
- Discussed removing `sphinx3` support in Jupyter Book and decided we can move forward with that deprecation at the top level.
- `myst-parser` and `myst-nb` will continue to support `sphinx3`
- Discussed mathjax and jupyter notebook rendering differences due to some author feedback when writing in content in jupyter notebooks. The notebooko renders `$$` with embedded `\begin{equation}` however this breaks in `jupyter-book` `latex` builds due to the double `equation` environment. Could consider adding some lightweight math parsing feature in `myst-parser` to switch `:nowrap:` on and off for `$$` math.
- briefly reviewed `latex` in `jupyter-book`, with the LaTeX team to take a look at the latest developments on the `mystjs` side to see if we should invest further in that space for features such as `article` support and `jb-article` toc types (via latex writers from `mdast`)
