  description

  **See Microsoft Fabric notebooks the way they were meant to be seen — right on GitHub.**
  
  Fabric Notebook Renderer transforms raw `.py` notebook files on GitHub into clean, readable notebook cards — just like you see them in Microsoft Fabric.
  
  ### What it does
  
  **Blob view (viewing a file)**
  - Renders notebook-content.py files as structured cell cards
  - Markdown cells are rendered as rich text
  - Code cells get syntax highlighting for Python and Spark SQL
  - Line numbers, collapsible long cells, and language badges
  - One-click toggle between notebook and raw view
  
  **PR diff view (reviewing changes)**
  - Cell-level diffs: each notebook cell shown as its own card
  - Side-by-side comparison for modified cells with line-level highlighting
  - Added/removed cells clearly marked with color-coded badges
  - Unchanged code lines are collapsed — only context around changes is shown
  - Click to expand hidden lines or collapsed cells
  - Notebook toggle button in GitHub's native file header
  
  ### Configurable
  Click the extension icon to adjust:
  - Default view mode (notebook or raw diff)
  - Number of context lines around changes
  - Auto-collapse unchanged cells
  - Syntax highlighting on/off
  - Long code cell collapsing
  
  ### Privacy
  - No data collection, no analytics, no external requests
  - Only activates on github.com for Fabric notebook files
  - File content is fetched directly from GitHub using your existing session
  - Settings sync via Chrome's built-in storage
