jekyll-ipython-markdown

This is a way to turn ipython notebooks into markdown files for your jekyll blog.

The idea is that you will (manually) run build to render any ipython notebooks in _notebooks/ as markdown into your _drafts/ folder. (These folder names can be changed by editing config.env).

Set up

0. Go to your jekyll blog's root folder, for example:

   cd ~/Sites/blog
   

1. Clone this repo into _notebooks/

   mkdir -p _notebooks
   cd _notebooks
   git clone https://github.com/mobeets/jekyll-ipython-markdown.git
   

2. Edit config.env if necessary, then create the specified folders by running prepare:

   cd jekyll-ipython-markdown
   ./prepare
   

Usage

You can build one .ipynb at a time, or all at once.

Here's all you do:

cd _notebooks
./jekyll-ipython-markdown/build *.ipynb

This will build all your ipython notebook files in _notebooks/ and place the resulting markdown in _drafts/ and the resulting images in images/ipython. (These folder names can be changed by editing config.env).

You can also build individual files:

cd _notebooks
./jekyll-ipython-markdown/build test.ipynb

Extensions

• Use fswatch to auto-build .ipynb files as they change
