New ipython notebook templating

Question

Is it possible to define some template content cells which all new ipython notebooks include when being created?

I'd like my notebooks to include some standard CSS using this method and possibly also have a markdown cell with links I'm frequently using .

Answer 1

Thanks to @Jakob for the help.

To get permanent customised CSS within the notebooks, I needed to create <myprofile>/static/custom/custom.css in my .ipython user folder folder.

This worked quite ok. I used the firefox's webdev tools to find the css items and classes in the ipython notebook and managed to get a monokai-ish style:

I also learned from here that you can inject javascript which might make it possible to add default content to new notebooks. I haven't tried this one yet though.

Edit: if interested, the css file lives here. The monokai colors are based on .cm-s-ipython, which I think is similar what sublime text is using.
