Core Functionalities​

The Node.js version of ipynb2web exposes various functionalities, including the conversion of notebooks to HTML, creation of audio files, generation of sitemaps, and publishing processed files:

  • createAudio(from, to): Converts content to audio files, based on YAML 'audio' tags.
  • createSitemap(SAVETO, sitemapFile, verbose): Generates sitemaps for web navigation.
  • cli_nbs2html(FROM, directory, SAVETO, verbose): Processes .ipynb files and converts them to HTML.
  • generate_sectionmap(pages, FROM, directory, SAVETO, verbose): Creates a section map for directories.
  • ipynb_publish(fullFilePath, saveDir, type): Processes and publishes Jupyter Notebook files, converting them to specified formats.

Notes​

  • createAudio: This function checks the YAML for 'audio' tags and creates corresponding audio files.
  • createSitemap: It appends each ipynb file to a 'sitemap.txt', useful for site navigation.
  • cli_nbs2html: This function is used for processing files in place, particularly useful when converting notebooks via the command line.
  • generate_sectionmap: It assists in creating section maps for directories, aiding in structured navigation.
  • ipynb_publish: This function converts notebooks to different formats and saves them, optionally extracting Python code.
