-Notebook JSON file format
--------------------------
-
-Notebook documents are JSON files with an ``.ipynb`` extension, formatted
-as legibly as possible with minimal extra indentation and cell content broken
-across lines to make them reasonably friendly to use in version-control
-workflows.  You should be very careful if you ever manually edit this JSON
-data, as it is extremely easy to corrupt its internal structure and make the
-file impossible to load.  In general, you should consider the notebook as a
-file meant only to be edited by the IPython Notebook app itself, not for 
-hand-editing.
-
-.. note::
-
-     Binary data such as figures are also saved directly in the JSON file.  
-     This provides convenient single-file portability, but means that the 
-     files can be large; a ``diff`` of binary data is also not very 
-     meaningful.  Since the binary blobs are encoded in a single line, they 
-     affect only one line of the ``diff`` output, but they are typically very 
-     long lines.  You can use the ``Cell | All Output | Clear`` menu option to 
-     remove all output from a notebook prior to committing it to version 
-     control, if this is a concern.
-
-The notebook server can also generate a pure Python version of your notebook, 
-using the ``File | Download as`` menu option. The resulting ``.py`` file will 
-contain all the code cells from your notebook verbatim, and all Markdown cells 
-prepended with a comment marker.  The separation between code and Markdown
-cells is indicated with special comments and there is a header indicating the
-format version.  All output is removed when exporting to Python.
-
-As an example, consider a simple notebook called ``simple.ipynb`` which 
-contains one Markdown cell, with the content ``The simplest notebook.``, one 
-code input cell with the content ``print "Hello, IPython!"``, and the 
-corresponding output.
-
-The contents of the notebook document ``simple.ipynb`` is the following JSON 
-container::
-
-  {
-   "metadata": {
-    "name": "simple"
-   },
-   "nbformat": 3,
-   "nbformat_minor": 0,
-   "worksheets": [
-    {
-     "cells": [
-      {
-       "cell_type": "markdown",
-       "metadata": {},
-       "source": "The simplest notebook."
-      },
-      {
-       "cell_type": "code",
-       "collapsed": false,
-       "input": "print \"Hello, IPython\"",
-       "language": "python",
-       "metadata": {},
-       "outputs": [
-        {
-         "output_type": "stream",
-         "stream": "stdout",
-         "text": "Hello, IPython\n"
-        }
-       ],
-       "prompt_number": 1
-      }
-     ],
-     "metadata": {}
-    }
-   ]
-  }
-
-
-The corresponding Python script is::
-
-  # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
-  # <nbformat>3.0</nbformat>
-
-  # <markdowncell>
-
-  # The simplest notebook.
-
-  # <codecell>
-
-  print "Hello, IPython"
-
-Note that indeed the output of the code cell, which is present in the JSON 
-container, has been removed in the ``.py`` script.
