The IPyCells package's type system revolves around the Cell and AbstractCell types. A Cell is a parametric type that represents a cell of any type within a notebook. Cells are typed using a type parameter; a standard julia code cell will use :code and a standard markdown cell will use :markdown. Cells also have an id, source, and outputs. source and id must be strings, whereas outputs may be of any type. string is binded to each Cell, and this will print the cells into Olive format. A Vector of cells can also be indexed by id in the form of a String.
Along with these cells, IPyCells provides several reading and writing functions for turning those cells into different file types or reading them from different file types. There are functions binded for both read and parse for each file type, as well as a binding for writing Olive and ipynb. None of these are exported.
(note that read_jl will deliniate whether or not a .jl file is Pluto, Olive, or plain Julia.)
These last two functions convert a .ipynb directly to a Julia file, or the inverse (this was the original purpose for the package before it became the package behind Olive, so the feature has been retained):
