How to export an IPython notebook to HTML for a blog post?

What is the best way to get an ipython notebook into html format for use in a blog post?

It is easy to turn an ipython notebook into a PDF, but I'd rather publish as an html notebook.

I've found that if I download the notebook as a .ipynb file, then load it onto gist, then look at it with the ipython notebook viewer (nbviewer.ipython.org), THEN grab the html source, I can paste it into a blog post (or just load it as html anywhere) and it looks about right. However, if I use the "print view" option directly from ipython, the source contains a bunch of javascript rather than the processed html, which is not useful since the images and text are not directly included.

The %pastebin magic is also not particularly helpful for this task, since it pastes the python code and not the ipython notebook formatted code.

EDIT: Note that this is under development; see the comments under the accepted answer.

EDIT May 2 2014: As per Nathaniel's comment, a new answer is needed for ipython 2.0

MyST Markdown's command line tools mystmd can create websites from multiple notebooks and markdown files, as well as build PDF outputs directly.

Using these tools you can run a whole website / blog from jupyter notebooks rather then exporting html for individual posts.

The myst getting started guide is here: https://mystmd.org/guide/quickstart-myst-websites

Websites can be deployed to/as static HTML, netlify or curvenote and added to CI workflows.

You generate the html from cmd, with your Jupyter Notebook open:

As https://stackoverflow.com/a/47773252/15117772 answered a similar question:

Also pass the --execute flag to generate the output cells

jupyter nbconvert --execute --to html notebook.ipynb

jupyter nbconvert --execute --to pdf notebook.ipynb

All the above answers seems outdated. Here is the most modern solution taken from the official nbconvertdocs.

$ jupyter nbconvert --to FORMAT notebook.ipynb

The default output format is html, for which the --to argument may be omitted:

$ jupyter nbconvert notebook.ipynb

One step further from the answer above. To create a PDF file,

  1. create a tex file 

    nbconvert -f latex your_notebook.ipynb

  2. convert tex to pdf : 

    pdflatex your_notebook.tex

The right way is described in: http://blog.fperez.org/2012/09/blogging-with-ipython-notebook.html. Then you can do nbconvert -f blogger-html your_notebook.ipynb to get the html code for your post.
