Notebook

Notebook[{cell₁,cell₂,…}]

is the low‐level construct that represents a notebook manipulated by the Wolfram System front end.

Details

Notebook files contain explicit Notebook expressions written out in textual form.
You can manipulate open notebooks in the front end using standard commands in the front end, and using the Option Inspector.
Open notebooks in the front end are referred to in the kernel by NotebookObject constructs. You can use Options and SetOptions to look at and modify options for open notebooks.

Examples

Use low-level Notebook and Cell expressions to construct a notebook:

Wolfram Language code: NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell["head", "Section"], Cell["text", "Text"]}]];

Use a Notebook expression for representing graphics:

Wolfram Language code: NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell[BoxData[GraphicsBox[DiskBox[{0, 0}], ImageSize -> Small]]]}]];

A Notebook expression for a two-dimensional input form:

Wolfram Language code: NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell[BoxData[SuperscriptBox["x", "p"]], "Input"]}]];

A Notebook expression for text and a control object:

Wolfram Language code:

NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell["Click OK to continue."], Cell[BoxData[ButtonBox["OK", ButtonFunction :> DialogReturn[], Evaluator -> Automatic]]]}]];

Set a background color:

Wolfram Language code: NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell["a"], Cell["b"]}, Background -> Pink]];

Set to Manual to allow arbitrary cell grouping arrangements:

Wolfram Language code: NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell[CellGroupData[{Cell["a"], Cell["b"]}, Open]]}, CellGrouping -> Manual]];

Set to False to disable interactive changes:

Wolfram Language code: nb = NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell["a"], Cell["b"]}, Editable -> False]];
