Docs (3. Enabling/Disabling extensions), extension name missing #1593

It is not clear what the name and path of extensions are when install via the command line.

In the docs, it states:

jupyter nbextension enable for example, jupyter nbextension enable codefolding/main

Okay. So how does a user know that the require path for Code Folding extension is codefolding/main? It's not in the docs. And there's no standard. For example, for Split Cells, the require path is: splitcell/splitcell. For Collapsible Headings, it's collapsible_headings/main. The naming convention does not necessarily appear to be standardized nor sensical. Is trial and error the best approach to command line toggling?

Fix: Either include the path for each extension in the docs for that extension or make the path standardized across all extensions.
