+Mime Renderer Extensions
+========================
+
+Like it's cousins, Jupyter Notebooks and JupyterLab, Terminal IPython can be
+thought to render a number of mimetypes in the shell. This can be used to either
+display inline images if your terminal emulator supports it; or open some
+display results with external file viewers.
+
+Registering new mimetype handlers can so far only be done my extensions and
+requires 4 steps:
+
+   - Define a callable that takes 2 parameters:``data`` and ``metadata``; return
+     value of the callable is so far ignored. This callable is responsible for
+     "displaying" the given mimetype. Which can be sending the right escape
+     sequences and bytes to the current terminal; or open an external program. -
+   - Appending the right mimetype to ``ipython.display_formatter.active_types``
+     for IPython to know it should not ignore those mimetypes.
+   - Enabling the given mimetype: ``ipython.display_formatter.formatters[mime].enabled = True``
+   - Registering above callable with mimetype handler:
+     ``ipython.mime_renderers[mime] = handler``
+
+
+Here is a complete IPython extension to display images inline and convert math
+to png, before displaying it inline for iterm2 on macOS ::
+
+
+    from base64 import encodebytes
+    from IPython.lib.latextools import latex_to_png
+
+
+    def mathcat(data, meta):
+        png = latex_to_png(f'$${data}$$'.replace('\displaystyle', '').replace('$$$', '$$'))
+        imcat(png, meta)
+
+    IMAGE_CODE = '\033]1337;File=name=name;inline=true;:{}\a'
+
+    def imcat(image_data, metadata):
+        try:
+            print(IMAGE_CODE.format(encodebytes(image_data).decode()))
+        # bug workaround
+        except:
+            print(IMAGE_CODE.format(image_data))
+
+    def register_mimerenderer(ipython, mime, handler):
+        ipython.display_formatter.active_types.append(mime)
+        ipython.display_formatter.formatters[mime].enabled = True
+        ipython.mime_renderers[mime] = handler
+
+    def load_ipython_extension(ipython):
+        register_mimerenderer(ipython, 'image/png', imcat)
+        register_mimerenderer(ipython, 'image/jpeg', imcat)
+        register_mimerenderer(ipython, 'text/latex', mathcat)
+
+This example only work for iterm2 on macOS and skip error handling for brevity.
+One could also invoke an external viewer with ``subporcess.run()`` and a
+temporary file, which is left as an exercise.

 So far only the hooks necessary for this are in place, but no default mime
 renderers added; so inline images will only be available via extensions. We will
 progressively enable these features by default in the next few releases, and
 contribution is welcomed.
