Jupyter Notebook Conversion

The nbconvert tool, jupyter nbconvert, converts notebooks to various other formats via Jinja templates. The nbconvert tool allows you to convert an .ipynb notebook file into various static formats including:

• HTML
• LaTeX
• PDF
• Reveal JS
• Markdown (md)
• ReStructured Text (rst)
• executable script

Usage

From the command line, use nbconvert to convert a Jupyter notebook (input) to a a different format (output). The basic command structure is:

$ jupyter nbconvert --to <output format> <input notebook>

where <output format> is the desired output format and <input notebook> is the filename of the Jupyter notebook.

Example: Convert a notebook to HTML

Convert Jupyter notebook file, mynotebook.ipynb, to HTML using:

$ jupyter nbconvert --to html mynotebook.ipynb

This command creates an HTML output file named mynotebook.html.

If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the change to one of the Jupyter repositories.
