Advanced Features¶

Rxiv-Maker provides powerful advanced features that set it apart from traditional document authoring tools. These features enable dynamic, reproducible manuscripts with live data integration and precise typesetting control.

🐍 Python Code Execution¶

Execute Python code directly in your manuscripts with Jupyter notebook-like functionality:

{{py:exec
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("FIGURES/DATA/results.csv")
mean_value = df['measurement'].mean()
}}

The mean measurement was {{py:get mean_value:.2f}} units.
