About this post

This is the first post where we’re using jQuery to automatically format links to IPython notebooks (code here). For now, we automatically add a link to view in nbviewer following any link ending in .ipynb. It would be pretty nifty if we could use javascript to look for a notebook server (on localhost:8888?), and offer it a notebook somehow.
