Convert RTF to IPYNB (Jupyter Notebook)

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.

The IPYNB file extension stands for "Interactive Python Notebook" and is used exclusively with Jupyter Notebook. It is a JSON file format that contains a complete record of user sessions, including code, narrative text, equations, and visualizations. The IPYNB files facilitate reproducible research and easy sharing of data analysis workflows. Originating from the IPython project, Jupyter Notebook has expanded its capabilities to support multiple programming languages, making it a versatile tool in the data science and machine learning communities. The format's history traces back to the early 2010s when it was developed to enhance interactive computing and collaborative work.
