Ah, too bad.  I've been reading the Jupyter kernel documentation and
looking at some examples, and I think I have some ideas of how this
can be vastly improved (in short, mainly by looking up the Sphinx docs
for objects in Sage (sometimes extracting just a section from the
page) and sending those over.  I have a rough idea how this can be
done but it will take some tinkering.  I've opened an issue for it
here:
