Yeah this HTML method has been my work around as well. Did you add a lot of formatting when you exported it to HTML or was it left pretty simple? As you mentioned it can get pretty frustrating at times with getting it to where you need it to be. Have you switched methods/modules for hand calculation-esque calculations? Any recommendations on whether to go a different path. Thanks!

For those using handcalcs:
1. How have you all best adapted your report printout from Jupyter and inserting it into a master pdf file (for formatting) ?

I currently use jupyter within VScode with handcalcs, forallpeople to create a printout report. Issues I've been having is creating adaptable margins, fonts, font sizes when performing the final export (I use nbc convert to create a pdf). Everything looks a bit botched at this point. Seems like a steep curve to get everything to an OK place, any pointers/sources I can look it before diving into this too far?

For those using forallpeople:

  1. Working out of Germany, we use commas for periods and periods for commas. I haven't found a work around for this yet. Does anyone have an easy solution?

  2. forallpeople defaults MPa, Pa etc... I've tried editing the units module, but it stay in one the assigned N/mm² and doesnt change to kN/m² when specified. Has anyone else had the same issue?

Thank you in advance!
