Project description

nb2wb

Write in notebooks. Publish anywhere.

nb2wb converts Jupyter Notebooks and other notebook-style content into publishable HTML with a neutral default mode plus platform profiles for Substack, Medium, X Articles, LinkedIn, Dev.to, Hashnode, Ghost, and WordPress.

Supported inputs:

  • Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb)
  • Quarto documents (.qmd)
  • Markdown documents (.md)
  • in-memory Jupyter notebook payloads (dict / NotebookNode)

Documentation

  • Detailed docs (Read the Docs): https://nb2wb.readthedocs.io/
  • Docs source in this repo: docs/index.md

Brief Feature Tour

  1. Load notebook content from file or in-memory payload.
  2. Optionally execute code cells (--execute / execute=True).
  3. Render markdown, math, code, and outputs into platform-safe HTML fragments.
  4. Convert display math, code, and (optionally) tables to images for high-fidelity publishing.
  5. Sanitize rich HTML/SVG output and enforce server-side safety limits.
  6. Wrap output for your target platform (default, substack, medium, x, linkedin, devto, hashnode, ghost, wordpress).

Installation

pip install nb2wb

Development install:

git clone https://github.com/the-palindrome/nb2wb.git
cd nb2wb
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick Start (CLI)

nb2wb notebook.ipynb
nb2wb notebook.ipynb -t medium
nb2wb notebook.ipynb -t x
nb2wb notebook.ipynb -t linkedin
nb2wb notebook.ipynb -t devto
nb2wb notebook.ipynb -o article.html
nb2wb notebook.ipynb --open
nb2wb notebook.ipynb --serve
nb2wb notebook.ipynb --raw -o article_raw.html
nb2wb report.qmd --execute
nb2wb report.ipynb --warnings
nb2wb report.ipynb -t ghost --image-strategy embed --article-width 900

Quick Start (Python API)

import nb2wb

# Path input via loader helper
payload = nb2wb.load_input_payload("notebook.ipynb")
html = nb2wb.convert(
    payload,
    target="substack",
    config={"latex": {"try_usetex": True}},
)

# In-memory payload input (JSON / JSONB parsed notebook)
html = nb2wb.convert(
    notebook_payload,
    target="substack",
    execute=False,
)

# Raw-mode output (no <head>, toolbar, or JavaScript)
html = nb2wb.convert(
    notebook_payload,
    target="medium",
    raw_mode=True,
)

# Restore stderr warning/log output rendering when needed
html = nb2wb.convert(
    notebook_payload,
    target="default",
    warnings_mode=True,
)

# Override target features at call-time
html = nb2wb.convert(
    notebook_payload,
    target="devto",
    target_options={
        "image_strategy": "copyable",
        "copy_script_mode": "copyable",
        "article_width_px": 780,
    },
)

nb2wb.convert() is content-only; use load_input_payload() (or typed loaders) for filesystem inputs.

Loader helpers return a validated NotebookNode for .ipynb inputs and {"format": ..., "content": ...} mappings for .md and .qmd inputs. Passing a Path object to nb2wb.convert() raises TypeError. Passing a plain string such as "notebook.ipynb" is treated as document text, not as a filesystem path.

Security at a Glance

nb2wb uses a mandatory server-safe conversion pipeline:

  • strict HTML/SVG sanitization
  • CSS URL sanitization
  • SSRF-safe image fetching
  • path traversal protection for local files
  • notebook size/resource safety limits
  • fail-closed behavior for unsafe/unresolvable image sources

Important: enabling execution runs notebook code. Treat execute=True workloads as untrusted code and isolate them appropriately.

Configuration

Use YAML file in CLI:

nb2wb notebook.ipynb -c config.yaml

Or pass dict/object/path in API:

html = nb2wb.convert(notebook_payload, config={"safety": {"max_cells": 1500}})
