python - Exporting Interactive Jupyter Notebook to html

Question

The following code plots an interactive figure where I can toggle specific lines on/off. This works perfectly when I'm working in an Ipython Notebook

Problem is, I need to export the notebook as a html to share with colleagues who know nothing about python. How can I export the notebook to html and get it to maintain the interactive (toggle) functionality (which it currently loses)? Thanks!

Answer 1

Maybe you don't need to export jupyter notebook to html, but share the notebook link to the other people and they can visit the url using their browser.

A jupyter notebook plugin would help you do this more efficiently: jupyter/dashboards, it's maintained by official jupyter team, and it helps you share your notebook like a report, and you can control which cell to display and the location of each cell displayed. Worth a try!
