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.
password
Set a password for the notebook server.

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'.

--debug
set log level to logging.DEBUG (maximize logging output)
--generate-config
generate default config file
-y
Answer yes to any questions instead of prompting.
--no-browser
Don't open the notebook in a browser after startup.
--pylab
DISABLED: use %pylab or %matplotlib in the notebook to enable matplotlib.

MathJax is the javascript library Jupyter uses to render math/LaTeX. It is

very large, so you may want to disable it if you have a slow internet
connection, or for offline use of the notebook.

When disabled, equations etc. will appear as their untransformed TeX source.
