how to insert a link to a local file into a markdown cell?
jupyter-notebook
Solution
I want to insert a link to a local file located in the notebook directory
I want to insert this link within a markdown cell.
The path need to be relative to where the server has been started, and prefixed with `files/`. e.g: `[my molecule](files/molecules/ethanol.mol)`
the file is to be opened with a local application (in this case, a molecule viewer)
Not possible unless your application support custom links protocol like the `itunes://` or `apt-get://` one. the best that can append is that on link click you will be prompted to download the file. (keep in mind that the server can be on a different machine thant your browser)
Problem
Dear ipython notebook users, I want to insert a link to a local file located in the notebook directory, and no, it is not an image (the only example I've found). I want to insert this link within a markdown cell. When clicked on the link, the file is to be opened with a local application (in this case, a molecule viewer) I've tried to come up with the correct syntax, but no luck. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
