+IPython is an interactive command shell and distributed computing
+environment.
+IPython Notebook is a web application for creating IPython notebooks.
+An IPython notebook is a JSON document containing an ordered list
+of input/output cells which can contain code, text, mathematics, plots
+and rich media.
+IPython notebooks can be converted to a number of open standard output formats
+(HTML, HTML presentation slides, LaTeX, PDF, ReStructuredText, Markdown,
+Python) through 'Download As' in the web interface and ``ipython nbconvert``
+in a shell.
+
+Pandas DataFrames implement ``_repr_html_`` methods
+which are utilized by IPython Notebook for displaying
+(abbreviated) HTML tables.  (Note: HTML tables may or may not be
+compatible with non-HTML IPython output formats.)
