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> <input>

where <output> is the desired output format and <input> 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.

Jupyter uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright over their contributions to Jupyter. But, it is important to note that these contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the Jupyter source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire Jupyter Development Team. 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.

With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file to indicate the copyright and license terms:
