Jupyter Notebooks: nbconvert configurations being

Question

I have a question, the following two lines, from a config file, are configuration options for nbconvert (http://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config_options.html)

Note that they are note listed under notebook configuration options (http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html)

c.TemplateExporter.template_path = ['.', "/Users/williamhenry/Library/Jupyter/templates"]

c.TemplateExporter.template_file = 'printviewlatex'

However, the only way I can actually get these configuration options to take effect is to put them in the jupyter_notebook_config.py file, NOT in the jupyter_nbconvert_config.py file. This does not make any sense to me. Can anyone explain why?
