Turning a notebook into a post

To turn a notebook into a post, from the root of the repository (where the specified python file lives) run the following:

jupyter nbconvert --config blog-post.py --to markdown notebooks/NOTEBOOK_FILE.ipynb

This will generate a .md file with the contents that can be copied/pasted into the blog post editor. On osx, it is even easier:

jupyter nbconvert --config blog-post.py --to markdown --stdout notebooks/NOTEBOOK_FILE.ipynb | pbcopy

This will convert the notebook and put the content into the paste buffer. Note that the non-stdout version needs to be run in order to extract images from the notebook.
