4. You will be able to write publication-quality content using markdown or an extended flavor of markdown with publishing features. It will have support for rich syntax such as citations and cross-references, math and equations, and figures.
5. Not only will you be able to execute code and insert the latest outputs into your books, you will also be able to cache and re-use outputs to be used later.
6. In-line insertion of output generated from codes with the content across pages.
5. They have also added various interactivities including toggling cell visibility, interactive outputs from Jupyter, and ability to connect with online services like Binder. Binder is a tool to turn a Git repository into a collection of interactive notebooks.
