Provide a more useful error for invalid use case....
Provide a more useful error for invalid use case. The previous help statement was not very usefull for users who don't know how to use nbconvert (ironically, the exact set of users who would encounter the error).

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"]
> ipython nbconvert --config mycfg.py
