An anchor reference for ipython to bind a cell directly from the outside

Question

I am writing documentation for a laptop-based platform. If I turn to important cells in a demo laptop, can I point to a specific cell using some kind of anchor?

For example, if I have a demo notepad at 127.0.0.1/mydemo, can I refer to the input cell In [10] with some anchor tag, for example 127.0.0.1/mydemo#In10

Answer 1

Not for stable, but only for the header cell (1-6) on the host device. Just click on the header cell and it will put the correct anchor in the url string, usually #header_title_sanitized Using the invitation number is not a good idea, as this may change. It will also be supported on nbviewer, we are working on it.

Creating internal links in Markdown works pretty well for me in practice. For example, you can create a table of contents by making a list in the markdown cell at the top of the page.

 *[jump to code cell 2](#cell2) *[jump to code cell 3](#cell3) *[jump to code cell 4](#cell4) 

Then you simply insert the markdown cell directly above the code cell to which you want to bind (for example, code cell 2). Just add one line of code:

 <a id="cell2"></a>

Answer 3

I like to use headers to organize my laptops, for example

 #My title 

in the markdown cell. Elsewhere, I can access this cell using

 [Link to my title](#My-title) 

in markdown (it looks like you should replace the spaces with a hyphen).

I got this from a more complete answer here .
