    """
    Converts nb_name to an HTML file. Preserves widget functionality.

    Outputs a link to download HTML file after conversion if called in a
    notebook environment.

    Equivalent to running `nbinteract ${spec} ${nb_name}` on the command line.

    Args:
        spec (str): BinderHub spec for Jupyter image. Must be in the format:
            `${username}/${repo}/${branch}`.

        nb_name (str): Complete name of the notebook file to convert. Can be a
            relative path (eg. './foo/test.ipynb').

    Kwargs:
        template (str): Template to use for conversion. Valid templates:

            - 'full': Outputs a complete standalone HTML page with default
              styling. Automatically loads the nbinteract JS library.
            - 'partial': Outputs an HTML partial that can be embedded in
              another page. Automatically loads the nbinteract JS library but
              has no styling.
            - 'plain': Outputs an HTML partial used to embed in an HTML page
              where the nbinteract JS library is already loaded. Does not load
              JS library or styling

        save_first (bool): If True, saves the currently opened notebook before
            converting nb_name. Used to ensure notebook is written to
            filesystem before starting conversion. Does nothing if not in a
            notebook environment.
