Hi folks,
newtabmagic is a magic for opening help pages in new browser tabs.
In IPython, the operators ? and ?? display help in text form.
newtabmagic runs the pydoc server as a background process,
providing access to help pages in HTML.
There are two ways of opening new browser tabs. By
dotted reference
In [1]: %newtab IPython.core.debugger.Tracer
which opens the url http://127.0.0.1:8888/IPython.core.debugger.Tracer.html
(for a pydoc server port of 8888).
Or by providing the name of an object. Here
we need to do an import first:
In [1]: import IPython
In [2]: tracer = IPython.core.debugger.Tracer
In [3]: %newtab tracer
See https://github.com/etgalloway/newtabmagic for more.
