IPyLogbook Extensions

This IPython notebook can be used to configure the IPython-notebook-extensions that are used to enhance the IPyLogbook system. The user can choose which extensions will be loaded automatically when the notebook server is started. A customized version of the IPython-notebook-extensions should be installed in the .ipython/nbextensions directory in order to be used. A custom version is primarily being used to correct bugs found in the official GitHub development version.

The user should be warned that the python-markdown extension is crucial to ensure that URLs with the Markdown cells are correctly set!

To configure extensions:

Set each of the extension flags in the following cell to 'True' (enabled) or 'None' (disabled)
Run all cells via the Cell $\rightarrow$ Run All menu option
Save the notebook via the File $\rightarrow$ Save and Checkpoint menu option or the Ctrl-s key binding
Restart the IPython notebook server for changes to take affect



In [1]:

    
# Enable Python variables to by inserted into Markdown cells via the "{{}}" syntax
use_python_markdown = True

# Enable cells to be 'read-only' via 'lock' click button up above-right
use_read_only = True

# Enable all input cells to be hidden via ' bars'click button above-right
use_hide_input_all = True

# Enable png/jpg images to be added to notebook by drag-and-drop
use_drag_and_drop = True
