Add documentation on how to use thebe(-light) for creating interactive coding exercises

[joelostblom]

In jupyterlite/jupyterlite#1333, I asked about using jupyter book / jupyter lite for creating a textbook with interactive coding exercises. It was suggested that this might be possible with thebe-light but that there are currently no docs on how to do it, so I'm opening this issues to suggest that this is added to the docs. See the issues linked above for a more exact description of what I have in mind.

I was hoping to start exploroing the use of thebe again using the jupyter book publishing machinery but haven't as yet found any example ls or docs for how to set up the _config.yml file and appropriately tag cells if particular tags are required.

I seem to recall seeing myst tools demos, but I'd rather stick with jupyter book for now. (If jupyter book is sunsetting in favour of myst tools and I am forced to migrate to another publishing toolchain, I suspect my colleagues would be arguing we move to quarto...)

@psychemedia it would be really interesting to hear about your feelings here

If jupyter book is sunsetting in favour of myst tools and I am forced to migrate to another publishing toolchain, I suspect my colleagues would be arguing we move to quarto..

Jupyter Book is continuing as a project, but will be built on top of mystmd (see here for more).
