Alternative HTML Template about pyvis HOT 4 OPEN

This is already possible by using Network.set_template and setting it to a custom template. write_html will then load the template from this path. The easy fix to make this more accessible would be to add path as an optional value to the constructor of Network I guess?

In this case write_html, has to take an additional (optional) **kwargs argument which then gets merged with the Jinja2 context that is already there. Otherwise, no new placeholders can be added to the custom template.

Yep! I tested by doing this

pyvis_graph = Network(height="100%", width="100%")
pyvis_graph.set_template('template.html.j2')
# Do some stuff ....
pyvis_graph.write_html('test_template.html')
webbrowser.open('test_template.html')

Hi! Yes, that is something I would want to implement going forward. Users should be able to specify path for their own templates.
If you want this feature with current Pyvis, you could try replacing the templates/template.html in your site-packages pyvis installation, since by default it looks for the template there.

Also another thing that I noticed is that set_template does not set the template (jinja2.Template) but the path to the template
