Converts markdown files into Jupyter Notebooks.

md_to_ipynb takes in a markdown file and converts it into a Jupyter Notebook. If the output file is not specified the name of the markdown file will be used with a .ipynb extension.

python md_to_ipynb.py (-o -h) <markdown file> <file to output>

Arguments:

• markdown file : the file to be converted
• output file : (optional) name of converted file
• -h help
• -o attempts to open the converted file after conversion (using xdg-open)

I suggest placing the script in '~/bin/' then in a terminal run:

echo "alias md_to_ipynb='python ~/bin/md_to_ipynb.py'" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

You can then run it from the terminal in any folder by simply calling md_to_python

In order for the -o flag to work, your os needs to know how to directly open .ipynb files. For this purpose I reccomend installing nbopen and following the instructions in the readme to integrate with your file manager.
