Slideshow editing with Jupyter Lab
Question:
The new Jupyter Lab is great, but I am missing the option to turn cells into slides. In classic Jupyter Notebooks, that was under “View > Cell Toolbar > Slideshow”:
What happened to the feature? Is there a way to edit slides in Jupyter Lab?
Answers:
It is still possible using nbconvert
Presenting Code Using Jupyter Notebook Slides
command you need to run:
jupyter nbconvert jupyter_notebook.ipynb --to slides --post serve
In Jupyter Lab you can alter the ‘slide type’ in the ‘Cell Inspector’ menu.
I have jupyter lab 1.1.4 installed on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and am using a python 3 virtual env kernel and it works great. Just complete your notebook and then configure each cell using the “Notebook Tools” tab on the far left (as shown in screenshot). Then save and close the notebook and run below command to output the slides.
Open the terminal and navigate to the recently saved .ipynb and run
jupyter nbconvert Untitled2.ipynb --to slides
For slides or say
jupyter nbconvert Untitled2.ipynb --to pdf
For a pdf
Note: You might need to install the Tex package to perfrom pdf outputs. See the docs here or just run the below command to install it.
sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-generic-recommended
Cheers
if you require the slideshow cell editing functionality you can either set it in the metadata as explained in this question, or you can switch from Lab to Notebook by going Help >> Launch Classic Notebook.

However, this doesn’t give me the slideshow cell editing functionality I need in the notebook.
