You can just change .html
to .ipynb
, for example:
This will give you the executed notebook (if you didn't disable execution).
Does that help?
The problem is that, depending on the webserver configuration, the file might be displayed as JSON in the browser. This is the reason why I didn't provide a download link in the docs but instead created a "View in nbviewer" link: https://nbviewer.org/urls/nbsphinx.readthedocs.io/en/0.9.1/custom-formats.ipynb
.zip
files are currently not available.
I have thought about customizing the provided downloads, but up to now nobody has asked for it!
Thanks! Got downloads working with :download:
role in the prolog, e.g. prolog.rst
.. only:: html
.. role:: raw-html(raw)
:format: html
.. note::
| Download :download:`Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) <{{ docname }}>` or :download:`Python script (.py) <{{ docname[:-6] }}.py>`
and in conf.py
nbsphinx_prolog = r"""
{% set docname = env.doc2path(env.docname, base=None) %}
""" + Path("prolog.rst").read_text()
I'm glad you found a solution that works for you!
If your project is public, would you mind providing a link, just out of curiosity?
Does the :download:
link work better for you than directly linking to the notebook file?
I guess it's not really a problem, but now you have two copies of all .ipynb
files on your server, right?
would you mind providing a link, just out of curiosity?
Sure, here is a sample notebook.
I used :download:
because it renders a download link, where the direct link shows the file as JSON in-browser first, then user needs to click save. I guess a download link would be easy with custom HTML, and avoid sphinx duplicating ipynbs in _downloads
. Maybe I will do that instead.
Another solution for this is to add an anchor tag for the notebook with .. raw:: html
in this fashion and customise nbsphinx_prolog
with the links and file paths as needed:
nbsphinx_prolog = r"""
.. raw:: html
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">
Tip
</p>
<p>
Alternatively, you may
<a href="{{ readthedocs_download_url | e }}{{ doc_path | e }}"
target="_blank" download>
download this notebook</a> and run it offline.
</p>
</div>
"""
Here, in the <a>
anchor, the target="_blank"
and download
attributes combined open a download prompt directly. A caveat is that it only works for same-origin links (reference: https://caniuse.com/download), which should be fine for a general use case since the files are downloaded from where they are hosted. Otherwise, it reverts to opening the JSON-formatted file in a new tab.
See a notebook in the PyBaMM docs for a simple working example.
Thanks @w-bonelli for the link! The download link uses
<a class="reference download internal" download="" ...>
Thanks @agriyakhetarpal for the additional information, that's very interesting. Is target="_blank"
even necessary if download
is given?
Based on that, I have made #751 to add a download link to the nbsphinx
docs so that users can simply copy the line of HTML. Please review!
Thanks much, that looks like a nice solution.
Hi, does
nbsphinx
offer a similar feature tosphinx-gallery
where notebooks are zipped and can be downloaded from the rendered page? One option I see is linking in prolog/epilog to GitHub but I would like to keep notebooks as jupytext paired scripts and avoid version controlling ipynbs, while allowing the docs visitor to download either a.py
or an.ipynb
.
