In exported Jupyter Notebooks, how do I disable the ¶?

Following up from my SO question, is there a way to not put pilcrows on headers?

Hello again ;-)

This is currently not configurable, but it makes sense as a feature request.

This seems like it should be pretty easily possible using traitlets since they're intrinsically configurable, @Carreau, let's set a time for us to talk through traitlets again so I can try to implement this.

Hello all,
Just to say, I'd really like to see this feature added.

[nfultz]

@johnmathews I was able to remove the pilcrows by patching the markdown renderer:

import mistune
import nbconvert
nbconvert.filters.markdown_mistune.IPythonRenderer.header = mistune.Renderer.header

However, this will break the table of contents extension.

This isn't something I feel comfortable shipping in the nb2mail plugin, though, so this ticket should remain open.
