Adding a split cell style into the notebook

[cdknorow]

… menu select item

updated markdown cell to also allow split window
switched order of cell styling
moved cell style down to bottom of the dropdown menu
updated to use metadata of the cell to store the cell position
minor bug fixes
refactor code
updating tojson and from json to add persistence

[cdknorow]

I have always wanted a feature like this, mainly on a larger screen I want to be able to use more of the real-estate and having plots, dataframes and markdown side by side can be very powerful. I'm not a javascript developer so I found the easiest way to do this was through small modifications to the actual code, though I'm certainly open to whatever you guys feel is best.

Implementation summary,:I

• added a cell_style attribute which can be set to center, left, or right.
  -This is stored in the ipynb json format for persistence as cell_style attribute.
• The modification to the html sets the cell style to float left or right at 50% width or to be 100width for centered.

ps. I've been a huge fan of ipython since before ipython notebook existed and I really love what you guys have done.

I'm going to figure out why unit tests are failing, add better documentation and update unit tests where appropriate. But I could use advice help if any is available.

I agree with @takluyver that this is probably better an an extension. That would enable us to see how users respond to it before including it for all users.

[cdknorow]

Is there anyone I can talk to about implementing this as an extension?

[takluyver]

@Carreau generally knows the most about JS extensions, and @juhasch has the most experience working with them at the notebook extensions repo.

[ellisonbg]

Also @willingc knows about some of the new documentation about nbextensions
we are adding for 4.2.

As @takluyver suggests, take a look at the notebook extensions repo. Take look at the existing extensions or open an issue to discuss how to do this as an extension.

Thanks @takluyver, @juhasch and @ellisonbg . I went over the extensions in the reop and have created an ipython extension which performs fairly well. I will update as I have time. ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions#573

Great!

Ok, great, sorry to have let this slipped through, lot of things to deal with these days.

Closing as this is now an extension !
