 """Latex exporter for the notebook conversion pipeline.

This module defines Exporter, a highly configurable converter
that uses Jinja2 to export notebook files into different format.

You can register both pre-transformers that will act on the notebook format
before conversion and jinja filter that would then be available in the templates
