Hi all,

When using Python in a Jupyter notebook, it’s possible to widen the display using

```python
from IPython.core.display import display, HTML
display(HTML("<style>.container { width:100% !important; }</style>"))

```

(from [python - How do I increase the cell width of the Jupyter/ipython notebook in my browser? - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34058270/880987))

Is there a similar trick to accomplish the same thing using `IJulia/Jupyter`?

(The same StackOverflow post above has a method to change it for all notebooks, but I prefer doing this on a per-notebook basis.)

Thanks,  
Kevin

You can render HTML content in Jupyter with `display` and the `"text/html"` MIME type:

```julia
display("text/html", "<script>alert('hello')</script>")

```

Thanks, @rdeits, that worked perfectly with the above code!

```julia
display("text/html", "<style>.container { width:100% !important; }</style>")

```

Cheers,  
Kevin

And @cormullion, sorry, I searched and didn’t find that answer. Whoops! Thank you!
