         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 `--format`.
         Options include {0}
         
         > ipython nbconvert --format latex mynotebook.ipnynb
         
         You can also pipe the output to stdout, rather than a file
         
         > ipython nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb --stdout
         
         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"]
