Markdown to ipynb converter that converts a markdown file to a notebook.
Each line starting with a hastag (#) marks a new markdown cell in the resulting notebook. Hashtags inside codeblocks (sourrounded by triple backticks) are ignored so that comments in code blocks are not set as titles. A title depth (or threshold) can also be set so that titles over a certain limit are not placed in new markdown cells in the resulting notebook.
The following command converts the file input.md to a notebook output1.ipynb.
$ md2ipynb.py input.md output1.ipynbThe user can specify a title depth -d as the maximum subtitle level that is allowed to create a new markdown cell in the resulting notebook. Lower level subtitles and the text under them are not added to a separate cell, they are appended to the above cell.
The following command takes the same input input.md and creates a new file, output2.ipynb where subtitles of level lower than 4 do not create new cells.
$ md2ipynb.py input.md output2.ipynb -d 4
