How can I export a notebook to HTML format?

How can I export every Markdown note in a notebook to HTML format where nb converts [[wiki-style links]] to HTML hyperlinks?

@derekmahar I think that might not be easily possible yet. You could in theory iterate over each file and then print the HTML for the nb item page (including CSS and extra markup) with nb show <id> --render --print --no-color. I'll have to think about this a bit.

No caching.

I'm impressed that you've managed to implement so many features using only bash and other common command line tools.

Thank you! 😊🙏

I noticed that the wiki-style links in the HTML that nb show <id> --render --print --no-color produces refer to the original target document (in this case, Markdown), rather than to the HTML document to which that target Markdown document would render. To generate a working website, nb show <id> --render --print --no-color would have to rewrite all of the HTML links to point to the corresponding HTML documents.

Are you familiar with any command line tools that convert Markdown documents containing wiki-style links to HTML?

I found some solutions which use Python or Lua Pandoc filters that convert links to Markdown documents to links to HTML documents, though these filters don't convert wiki-style links. To convert wiki-style links, I would need an intermediate filter that converts links in the form [[Title A]] to Markdown links in the form [Title A](title_a.md).
