Jupyter Notebook ArgumentsΒΆ
This is the output of command line:
jupyter notebook --help-all
These arguments can be specified in NotebookRunner.
They were generated with Jupyter 4.0 on 07/06/2016.
The Jupyter HTML Notebook.
This launches a Tornado based HTML Notebook Server that serves up an
HTML5/Javascript Notebook client.
Subcommands
-----------
Subcommands are launched as `jupyter-notebook cmd [args]`. For information on
using subcommand 'cmd', do: `jupyter-notebook cmd -h`.
list
List currently running notebook servers.
Options
-------
Arguments that take values are actually convenience aliases to full
Configurables, whose aliases are listed on the help line. For more information
on full configurables, see '--help-all'.
--script
DEPRECATED, IGNORED
--pylab
DISABLED: use %pylab or %matplotlib in the notebook to enable matplotlib.
--debug
set log level to logging.DEBUG (maximize logging output)
-y

--no-browser
