+Exporting
+=========
+
+Some extensions require additional effort when exporting them to other formats using `nbconvert`.
+Please read the documentation here: http://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
+
+Preprocessors
+-------------
+
+pre_svg2pdf
+    Supports converting notebooks to PDF. Because LaTeX can't use SVG graphics, they are converted to PDF
+    using `inkscape`. This preprocessor is for markdown graphics only. For cell output, there is already a preprocessor
+    in `nbconvert`.
+
+pre_codefolding
+    Folds codecells as displayed in the notebook.
+
+pre_collapsible_headings
+    For collapsible_headings extensions. Hides collapsed parts of the notebook.
+
+pre_pymarkdown
+    Inserts the varaible values for the Python markdown extension.
+
+Generic documentation for preprocessors can be found here: http://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/preprocessors.html
+
+Postprocessors
+--------------
+
+post_embedhtml
+    Embed graphics (pdf, svg and images) in the HTML file.
+    `nbconvert --to html --option='embed' mynotebook.ipynb`
+

+Non-Official Jupyter Notebook Extensions
+========================================
+
+The ``jupyter_notebook_extensions`` package contains a  collection of extensions that add
+functionality to the Jupyter notebook. These extensions are mostly written in Javascript and
+will be loaded locally in your browser.
+
+The IPython-contrib repository is maintained independently by a group of
+users and developers and not officially related to the IPython
+development team.
+
+The maturity of the provided extensions varies, so please `create an
+issue <https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/issues/new>`__
+at the project's `github
+repository <https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions>`__

+Installing Jupyter Notebook Extensions
+======================================
+
+To install notebook extensions, three steps are required. First, this Python package needs to be installed.
+Then, the notebook extensions themselves can be copied to the Jupyter data directory.
+Finally, the installed notebook extensions can be enabled, either by using built-in Jupyter commands,
+or more convenient by using the jupyter_nbextensions_configurator server extension.
+
+The Python package installation step is necessary to allow painless installation of the extensions togther with
+additional items like nbconvert templates, pre-/postprocessors, and exporters.
+
+
+1. Install the python package
+-----------------------------
+
+All of the nbextensions in this repo are provided as parts of a python package,
+which is installable in the usual manner, using `pip` or the `setup.py` script.
+You can install directly from the current master branch of the repository
+
+    pip install https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/tarball/master
+
+All the usual pip options apply, e.g. using pip's `--upgrade` flag to force an
+upgrade, or `-e` for an editable install.
+
+You can also install from a cloned repo, which can be useful for development.
+You can clone the repo using
+
+    git clone https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions.git jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
+
+Then perform an editable pip install using
+
+    pip install -e jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
+
+
+2. Install javascript and css files
+-----------------------------------
+
+This step copies the nbextensions javascript and css files into the jupyter
+server's search directory. A `jupyter` subcommand is provided which installs
+all of the nbextensions files:
+
+    jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
+
+The command is essentially a wrapper around the notebook-provided
+`jupyter nbextension`, and can take most of the same options, such as `--user`
+to install into the user's home jupyter directories, `--system` to perform
+installation into system-wide jupyter directories, `sys-prefix` to install into
+python's `sys.prefix`, useful for instance in virtual environments, and
+`--symlink` to symlink the nbextensions rather than copying each file
+(recommended).
+
+An analogous `uninstall` command is also provided, to remove all of the
+nbextension files from the jupyter directories.
+
+
+3. Enabling/Disabling extensions
+--------------------------------
+
+To use an nbextension, you’ll also need to enable it, which tells the notebook
+interface to load it. To do this, you can use a Jupyter subcommand:
+
+    jupyter nbextension enable <nbextension>
+
+for example,
+
+    jupyter nbextension enable codefolding/main
+
+To disable the extension again, use
+
+    jupyter nbextension disable <nbextension>
+
+Alternatively, and more conveniently, you can use the
+[`jupyter_nbextensions_configurator`](https://github.com/Jupyter-contrib/jupyter_nbextensions_configurator)
+server extension, which is installed as a dependency of this repo, and can be
+used to enable and disable the individual nbextensions, as well as configure
+their options.
+
+
+4. Migrating from older versions of this repo
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The `jupyter contrib nbextensions` command also offers a `migrate` subcommand,
+which will
+
+ * uninstall the old repository version's files, config and python package
+ * adapt all `require` paths which have changed. E.g. if you had the
+    collapsible headings nbextension enabled with its old require path of
+    `usability/collapsible_headings/main`, the `migrate` command will alter
+    this to match the new require path of `collapsible_headings/main`.
+
+For complex or customized installation scenarios, please look at the
+documentation for installing notebook extensions, server extensions, nbconvert
+pre/postprocessors and templates on the Jupyter homepage http://www.jupyter.org.
+More information can also be found in the
+[Wiki](https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/wiki).

+Notebook extension structure
+============================
+
+The nbextensions are stored each as a separate subdirectory of
+``src/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/nbextensions``
+
+Each notebook extension typically has it's own directory containing:
+
+* ``thisextension/main.js``: javascript implementing the extension
+* ``thisextension/main.css``: optional CSS
+* ``thisextension/readme.md``: readme file describing the extension in markdown format

+Troubleshooting
+===============
+
+If you are migrating from an older version of the notebook extensions contrib repository,
+some old files might be left on your system. This can lead for example having all extensions twice.
+
+The extensions will be located in the `nbextensions` subdirectory in one of the `data:` directories that can be found
+using the `jupyter --paths` command.
