Specify multiple directories in `nbs_path` or exclude certain subdirectories about nbdev HOT 3 OPEN

Hey @mattgra, if I understand your requirement correctly, this is already possible in nbdev.

To create tutorials, (do NOT add the #|default_exp flag to your nb). You can check the nbdev repo for this.

Then to update the sidebar, you can manually edit the _quarto.yml file to get your desired sidebar configuration.

from nbdev.

Not sure i fully understand this solution.
In the repo you are showing the settings.ini still points to the nbs folder only. (https://github.com/fastai/nbdev/blob/master/settings.ini)
nbdev then recursively goes through all the folders inside nbs and generates the docs (i.e., also for the explanations, tutorials, and API folders. (see here: https://nbdev.fast.ai/api)

from nbdev.

Yes, that's correct. nbdev recursively goes through the notebooks in the nbs folder. The part where the notebooks differ in the api folder vs the tutorials folder is over here.

When the #|default_exp flag is missing in a notebook, no python file is created for it, and it is rendered by nbdev as docs.
