"|This button will \"run\" your cell, meaning that it will interpret your input and render the output in a way that depends on [what kind of cell] [cell kind] you're using. \n",
"|This is the stop button. Clicking this button will stop your cell from continuing to run. This tool can be useful if you are trying to execute more complicated code, which can sometimes take a while, and you want to edit the cell before waiting for it to finish rendering. \n",
"|This is the restart kernel button. See your kernel documentation for more information.\n",
"|This is a drop down menu which allows you to tell your Notebook how you want it to interpret any given cell. You can read more about the [different kinds of cells] [cell kind] in the following section. \n",
"|Individual cells can have their own toolbars. This is a drop down menu from which you can select the type of toolbar that you'd like to use with the cells in your Notebook. Some of the options in the cell toolbar menu will only work in [certain kinds of cells][cell kind]. \"None,\" which is how you specify that you do not want any cell toolbars, is the default setting. If you select \"Edit Metadata,\" a toolbar that allows you to edit data about [Code Cells][code cells] directly will appear in the corner of all the Code cells in your notebook. If you select \"Raw Cell Format,\" a tool bar that gives you several formatting options will appear in the corner of all your [Raw Cells][raw cells]. If you want to view and present your notebook as a slideshow, you can select \"Slideshow\" and a toolbar that enables you to organize your cells in to slides, sub-slides, and slide fragments will appear in the corner of every cell. Go to [this section][slideshow] for more information on how to create a slideshow out of your Jupyter Notebook. \n",
"|These buttons allow you to move the location of an entire section within a Notebook. Simply select the Header Cell for the section or subsection you wish to move and click either the up or down button until the section is in the location you want it to be.

"|Clicking this button will automatically number your Notebook's sections. For more information, check out the Reference Guide's [section on Automatic Section Numbering][section numbering].\n",
"|Clicking this button will generate a table of contents using the titles you've given your Notebook's sections. For more information, check out the Reference Guide's [section on Table of Contents Support][table of contents].\n",
"|Clicking this button will search your document for [cite commands][] and automatically generate intext citations as well as a references cell at the end of your Notebook. For more information, you can read the Reference Guide's [section on Bibliographic Support][bib support].\n",
"|Clicking this button will toggle [cell tabbing][], which you can learn more about in the Reference Guides' [section on the layout options for Code Cells][cell layout].\n",

"|Clicking this button will toggle spell checking. Spell checking only works in unrendered [Markdown Cells][] and [Header Cells][]. When spell checking is on all incorrectly spelled words will be underlined with a red squiggle. Keep in mind that the dictionary cannot tell what are [Markdown][md writing] commands and what aren't, so it will occasionally underline a correctly spelled word surrounded by asterisks, brackets, or other symbols that have specific meaning in Markdown. \n",

"Suppose you are writing a paper and, as is prone to happening when you have a lot of complicate thoughts buzzing around your brain, you've reorganized your ideas several times. Automatic section numbering will go through your Notebook and number your sections and subsection as designated by your Header Cells. This means that if you've moved one or more big sections around several times, you won't have to go through your paper and renumber it, as well as all its subsections, yourself.\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"**Notes:** Automatic Section Numbering tri-toggling tool, so when you click the Number Sections button one of three actions will occur: Automatic Section Numbering will number your sections, correct inconsistent numbering, or unnumber your sections (if all of your sections are already consistently and correctly numbered). \n",
"\n",
"So, even if you have previously numbered your sections, Automatic Section Numbering will go through your document, delete the current section numbers, and replace them the correct number in a linear sequence. This means that if your third section was once your second, Automatic Section Numbering will delete the \"2\" in front of your section's name and replace it with a \"3.\" \n",
"\n",
"While this function saves you a lot of time, it creates one limitation. Maybe you're writing a paper about children's books and one of the books you're discussing is called **`2 Cats`**. You've unsurprisingly titled the section where you summarize and analyze this book **`2 Cats`**. Automatic Section Numbering will assume the number 2 is section information and delete it, leaving just the title **`Cats`** behind. If you bold, italicize, or place the title of the section inside quotes, however, the entire section title will be be preserved without any trouble. It should also be noted that even if you must title a section with a number occurring before any letters and you do not want to bold it, italicize it, or place it inside quotes, then you can always run Automatic Section Numbering and then go to that section and retype its name by hand. \n",
"\n",
"Because Automatic Section Numbering uses your header cells, its performance relies somewhat on the clarity of your organization. If you have two sections that begin with Header 1 Cells in your paper, and each of the sections has two subsections that begin with Header 2 Cells, Automatic Section Numbering will number them 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.1, and 2.2 respectively. If, however, you have used a Header 3 Cell to indicate the beginning of what would have been section 2.1, Automatic Section Numbering will number that section 2.0.1 and an error message will appear telling you that \"You placed a Header 3 cell under a Header 2 Cell in section 2\". Similarly, if you begin your paper with any Header Cell smaller than a Header 1, say a Header 3 Cell, then Automatic Section Numbering will number your first section 0.0.3 and an error message will appear telling you that \"Notebook begins with a Header 3 Cell.\"\n"

"Why is Markdown better? Well, it’s worth saying that maybe it isn't. Mainly, it’s not actually a question of better or worse, but of what’s in front of you and of who you are. A definitive answer depends on the user and on that user’s goals and experience. These Notebooks don't use Markdown because it's definitely better, but rather because it's different and thus encourages users to think about their work differently. \n",
"\n",
"It is very important for computer science students to learn how to conceptualize input and output as dependent, but also distinct. One good reason to use Markdown is that it encourages this kind of thinking. Relatedly, it might also promote focus on substance over surface aesthetic. Markdown is somewhat limited in its style options, which means that there are inherently fewer non-subject-specific concerns to agonize over while working. It is the conceit of this philosophy that you would, by using Markdown and this Notebook, begin to think of the specific stylistic rendering of your cells as distinct from what you type into those same cells, and thus also think of the content of your writing as necessarily separate from its formating and appearance.

In a hard-wrapped paragraph the line breaks are not dependent on the size of the viewing window. If you click and drag your mouse to expand a word processing document, for example, the shape of the paragraphs and the length of the lines will not change. In other words, the length of a hard-wrapped line is determined either by the number of words in the line (in the case of word processing software where this number is predetermined and the program wraps for the user automatically), or individual intention (when a user manually presses an Enter or Return key to control exactly how long a line is).\n",

Unsurprising, then, if you *narrow* a window, soft-wrapped lines will shrink and the paragraphs will become longer vertically. \n",

If you hover your mouse over a Header Cell, a blue Greek pi letter will appear next to your title. If you click on it, the URL at the top of your window will change and the internal link to that section will appear last in the address.

"Bibliographic Support makes managing references and citations in your Notebook much easier, by automating some of the bibliographic process every person goes through when doing research or writing in an academic context. There are essentially three steps to this process for which your Notebook's Bibliographic support can assist: gathering and organizing sources you intend to use, citing those sources within the text you are writing, and compiling all of the material you referenced in an organized, correctly formatted list, the kind which usually appears at the end of a paper in a section titled \"References,\" \"Bibliography,\" or \"Works Cited. \n",
"\n",
"In order to benefit from this functionality, you need to do two things while writing your paper: first, you need to create a [Bibtex database][bibdb] of information about your sources and second, you must use the the [cite command][cc] in your Markdown writing cells to indicate where you want in-text citations to appear.\n",
"\n",
"If you do both these things, the \"Generate References\" button will be able to do its job by replacing all of your cite commands with validly formatted in-text citations and creating a References section at the end of your document, which will only ever include the works you specifically cited within in your Notebook. \n",
"\n",
"**Note:** References are generated without a header cell, just a [markdown header][]. This means that if you want a References section to appear in your table of contents, you will have to unrender the References cell, delete the \"References\" header, make a Header Cell of the appropriate level and title it \"References\" yourself, and then generate a table of contents using [Table of Contents Support][table of contents]. This way, you can also title your References section \"Bibliography\" or \"Works Cited,\" if you want.\n",

"To create an external bibliographic database, you will need to create a new Notebook and title it **`Bibliography`** in the toplevel folder of your current Jupyter session. As long as you do not also have an internal bibliographic database, when you click the Generate References button your Notebook's Bibliographic Support will search this other **`Bibliography`** Notebook for Bibtex entries. Bibtex entries can be in any cell and in any kind of cell in your **`Bibliography`** Notebook as long as the cell begins with **``**. Go to [this section][bibfor] for examples of valid BibTex formatting.\n",
"\n",
"Not every cell has to contain BibTex entries for the external bibliographic database to work as intended with your Notebook's bibliographic support. This means you can use the same helpful organization features that you use in other Notebooks, like [Automatic Section Numbering][asn] and [Table of Contents Support][toc], to structure your own little library of references. The best part of this is that any Notebook containing validly formatted [cite commands][cc] can check your external database and find only the items that you have indicated you want to cite. So you only ever have to make the entry once and your external database can grow large and comprehensive over the course of your accademic writing career. \n",

"There are several advantages to using an external database over [an internal one][internal database]. The biggest one, which has already been described, is that you will only ever need to create one and you can organize it into sections by using headers and generating [automatic section numbers][asn] and a [table of contents][toc]. These tools will help you to easily find the right [citation ID][cc] for a given source you want to cite. The other major advantage is that an external database is not visible when viewing the Notebook in which you are citing sources and generating a References list.

"Unlike [external bibliographic databases][exd], which are comprised from an entire separate notebook, internal bibliographic databases consist of only one cell within in the Notebook in which you are citing sources and compiling a References list. The single cell, like all of the many BibTex cells that can make up an external database, must begin with **``** in order to be validly formatted and correctly interpreted by your Notebook's Bibliographic Support. It's probably best to keep this cell at the very end or the very beginning of your Notebook so you always know where it is. This is because when you use an intenral bibliographic databse it can only consist of one cell. This means that if you want to cite multiple sources you will need to keep track of the single cell that comprises your entire internal bibliographic database during every step of the research and writing process. \n",
"\n",
"Internal bibliographic databases make more sense when your project is a small one and the list of total sources is short. This is especially convenient if you don't already have a built-up external database. With an internal database you don't have to create and organize a whole separate Notebook, a task that's only useful when you have to keep track of a lot of different material. Additionally, if you want to share your finished Notebook with others in a form that retains its structural validity, you only have to send one Notebook, as oppose to both the project itself and the Notebook that comprises your external bibliographic database. This is especially useful for a group project, where you want to give another reader the ability to edit, not simply read, your References section. \n",

This is handy, but it also makes the cell very difficult to find, so remember to keep careful track of where your hidden BibTex databse is if you're planning to edit it later.

"When you want to cite a bibliographic entry from a database (either internal or external), you must know the citation ID, sometimes called the \"key\", for that entry. Citation IDs are strings of letters, numbers, and symbols that *you* make up, so they can be any word or combination of words you find easy to remember. Once, you've given an entry a citation ID, however, you do need to use that same ID every time you cite that source, so it may behoove you to keep your database organized. This way it will be much easier to locate any given source's entry and its potentially forgotten citation ID. \n",
