In a previous post, I outlined some handy hacks for converting Jupyter notebooks to WordPress.com oriented HTML. This addendum describes the use of Jupyter templates and CSS edits to fine-tune exported HTML. Jupyter exports notebooks in a variety of formats.

Better Blogging with Jupyter Notebooks on WordPress.com

No doubt one could craft CSS … Continue reading Downloading SmugMug Captions with Python and Jupyter
