Read-only viewing of Jupyter notebooks in the web browser.
Project description
nbv
Read-only Jupyter Notebook viewing using nbconvert.
Invoking
nbv notebook.ipynb
converts the notebook to HTML[^1] and opens this HTML file in the default web browser.
You can get a similar result with just
nbconvert notebook.ipynb --to html --post serve
Note that this (and nbv) doesn't require a full Jupyter installation (e.g. JupyterLab) in order to run.
But nbv has additional benefits[^2]:
- doesn't pollute the notebook location with HTML (unlike the above)
- no server, just open the HTML file in browser
- simple CLI, exposing only a few nbconvert options
Note: currently requires jupyter-nbconvert available on PATH[^3]. Maybe later will update to use the nbconvert library directly instead.
[^1]: Inside the OS temporary directory by default.
[^2]: Also I wanted to try Typer.
[^3]: Since a pipx install of nbv doesn't give this, I have removed nbconvert from the dependencies for now.
