I love using Jupyter Notebook especially when I'm learning something new with Python. Aside from using it with Pandas, it allows me to quickly document my learnings, whereas I can take notes and write and run codes in the same file. There are times I publish these notes into blogs, so I have to convert these .ipynb
files into .md
files, and it is a real hassle to transfer them into another file line-by-line. So, I got curious and searched for a Python module for converting .ipynb
files into other file types, and lucky there is a module for this job. It is called nbconvert
module and if you don't know about this yet, here's a quick guide to using it.
Install Jupyter nbconvert (if you haven't already):
You can install nbconvert
using pip
:
pip install nbconvert
Convert .ipynb to .md:
You can convert a .ipynb
file to .md
using the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
jupyter nbconvert --to markdown your_notebook.ipynb
Replace your_notebook.ipynb
with the actual name of your Jupyter Notebook file. This command will create a Markdown file with the same name as your notebook but with the .md
extension.
Converting to other formats:
The nbconvert
library supports converting Jupyter Notebooks to various formats, including HTML, PDF, LaTeX, and more. To convert to a different format, replace --to markdown
with the format of your choice. For example:
HTML: --to html
PDF: --to pdf
LaTeX: --to latex
You can specify the output file name using the --output
option, followed by the desired file name and extension.
Here's an example command to convert a .ipynb
file to HTML:
jupyter nbconvert --to html your_notebook.ipynb
These commands will generate the respective output files in the same directory as your Jupyter Notebook. And that's how you can easily convert a .ipynb
file into another file format.
