IV. Journal

NB doesn’t have a journal, but you can use notes as a journal because ‘nb add‘ uses the current date and time as the filename if no filename is specified.

You can edit the note with your editor by running the code:

V. Inline images

Import an image from Wikipedia

Create a new note nemed “wittgenstein” in the notebook named “thoughts”.

nb thoughts:add --title "wittgenstein"

Type the following in your editor opened:

# wittgenstein
