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
-

--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)

'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)

EXAMPLES
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
