Use cases

  • Share WLJS notebooks with Mathematica users

Consider the following limitations when sharing in Mathematica format:

  1. Only input cells will be transferred.
  2. Input cells will be converted to InputForm.
  3. Markdown formatting is not fully supported in Wolfram Language text cells (only sections, titles, etc. are preserved).
  4. LaTeX, Mermaid, HTML, and many other non-standard output cells will not be displayed.

Importing

Simply open a .nb file with the WLJS application; it will be automatically converted to .wln.

The importer maps compatible Mathematica cell and typesetting structures directly to WLJS. When a typesetting construct has no reliable one-to-one WLJS representation, it uses a TeX form so the content remains readable. This fallback is especially useful for notebooks that mix formatted text with undocumented box expressions.

This feature is still experimental

Known limitations

  • large notebooks will be automatically split to avoid performance degradation (you might see a message content from the previous cell);
  • DynamicModule, Dynamic will not render correctly;
  • avoid complex text formatting;
  • certain Graphics and Graphics3D styling options may not work;
  • embedded image / video / audio data inside cells will no be available
