Details

  • Wolfram System notebooks are structured interactive documents that can contain text, graphics, sound, calculations, typeset expressions, and user interface elements.
  • Wolfram System notebooks are the typical method of interacting with the Wolfram System front end. Standalone Wolfram Language kernels do not use notebooks.
  • Notebook files are a deployment method for interactive use in Wolfram Player.
  • Notebook files are automatically associated with the Wolfram System on systems that have the Wolfram System installed.
  • Wolfram System notebook files contain only printable 7-bit ASCII characters and are viewable and largely readable in any text editor.
  • Notebooks are cross-platform, meaning that a notebook created on any supported platform can be read by a Wolfram System installation on any other platform.
  • The Wolfram System can convert notebook files to many other formats using the File > Save As menu item and selecting the desired format from the drop-down box in the dialog that appears.
