jupyter-nbconvert - Convert notebook files (*.ipynb) to various
other formats.
WARNING: THE COMMANDLINE INTERFACE MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE
RELEASES.
Arguments that take values are actually convenience aliases to
full Configurables, whose aliases are listed on the help line. For more
information on full configurables, see '--help-all'.
-y
- Answer yes to any questions instead of prompting.
--execute
- Execute the notebook prior to export.
--allow-errors
- Continue notebook execution even if one of the cells throws an error and
include the error message in the cell output (the default behaviour is to
abort conversion). This flag is only relevant if '--execute' was
specified, too.
--stdout
- Write notebook output to stdout instead of files.
--debug
- set log level to logging.DEBUG (maximize logging output)
--inplace
- Run nbconvert in place, overwriting the existing notebook (only relevant
when converting to notebook format)
--generate-config
- generate default config file
--reveal-prefix=<Unicode>
(RevealHelpPreprocessor.url_prefix)
- The URL prefix for reveal.js. This can be a a relative URL for a local
copy of reveal.js, or point to a CDN. For speaker notes to work, a local
reveal.js prefix must be used. (default: 'reveal.js')
--nbformat=<Enum>
(NotebookExporter.nbformat_version)
- The nbformat version to write. Use this to downgrade notebooks. Choices:
[1, 2, 3, 4] (with default 4)
--writer=<DottedObjectName>
(NbConvertApp.writer_class)
- Writer class used to write the results of the conversion (default:
'FilesWriter')
--log-level=<Enum> (Application.log_level)
- Set the log level by value or name. Choices: (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,
'DEBUG', 'INFO', 'WARN', 'ERROR', 'CRITICAL') (default: 30)
--to=<CaselessStrEnum>
(NbConvertApp.export_format)
- The export format to be used. Choices: ['custom', 'html', 'latex',
'markdown',
'notebook', 'pdf', 'python', 'rst', 'script', 'slides'] (default:
'html')
--template=<Unicode>
(TemplateExporter.template_file)
- Name of the template file to use (default: u'')
--output=<Unicode> (NbConvertApp.output_base)
- overwrite base name use for output files. can only be used when converting
one notebook at a time (default: '').
--post=<DottedOrNone>
(NbConvertApp.postprocessor_class)
- PostProcessor class used to write the results of the conversion (default
u'')
--config=<Unicode> (JupyterApp.config_file)
- Full path of a config file (default: u'').

The simplest way to use nbconvert is
- jupyter nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb
which will convert mynotebook.ipynb to the default format
(probably HTML).
You can specify the export format with `--to`. Options include
['custom', 'html', 'latex', 'markdown', 'notebook', 'pdf', 'python', 'rst',
'script', 'slides']
- jupyter nbconvert --to latex mynotebook.ipynb
Both HTML and LaTeX support multiple output templates. LaTeX
includes 'base', 'article' and 'report'. HTML includes 'basic' and 'full'.
You can specify the flavor of the format used.
- jupyter nbconvert --to html --template basic mynotebook.ipynb
You can also pipe the output to stdout, rather than a file
- jupyter nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb --stdout
PDF is generated via latex
- jupyter nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb --to pdf
You can get (and serve) a Reveal.js-powered slideshow
- jupyter nbconvert myslides.ipynb --to slides --post serve
Multiple notebooks can be given at the command line in a couple of
different ways:
- jupyter nbconvert notebook*.ipynb
jupyter nbconvert notebook1.ipynb notebook2.ipynb
or you can specify the notebooks list in a config file,
containing::
c.NbConvertApp.notebooks = ["my_notebook.ipynb"]
- jupyter nbconvert --config mycfg.py
