        The simplest way to use nbconvert is
        
        > ipython nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb
        
        which will convert mynotebook.ipynb to the default format (probably HTML).
        
        You can specify the export format with `--to`.
        Options include {0}
        
        > ipython nbconvert --to latex mynotebook.ipynb

        Both HTML and LaTeX support multiple output templates. LaTeX includes
        'base', 'article' and 'report'.  HTML includes 'basic' and 'full'. You
        can specify the flavor of the format used.

        > ipython nbconvert --to html --template basic mynotebook.ipynb
        
        You can also pipe the output to stdout, rather than a file
        
        > ipython nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb --stdout

        PDF is generated via latex

        > ipython nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb --to pdf
        
        You can get (and serve) a Reveal.js-powered slideshow
        
        > ipython nbconvert myslides.ipynb --to slides --post serve
        
        Multiple notebooks can be given at the command line in a couple of 
        different ways:
  
        > ipython nbconvert notebook*.ipynb
        > ipython nbconvert notebook1.ipynb notebook2.ipynb
        
        or you can specify the notebooks list in a config file, containing::
        
            c.NbConvertApp.notebooks = ["my_notebook.ipynb"]
        
        > ipython nbconvert --config mycfg.py
