Markdown Cell Jupyter

When the notebook is refreshed in Jupyter, cell inputs are loaded from the script or Markdown document and kernel variables are preserved.

This is a common feature and is supported by RStudio within R Markdown for example. Surprisingly, Jupyter Notebooks do not support the inclusion of variables in Markdown Cells out of the box. If you still use Jupyter Notebooks there is a readily solution: the Python Markdown extension. Quando scrivo qualcosa nel campo markdown del taccuino jupyter, gli errori di battitura non vengono evidenziati e spesso mi sono ritrovato con qualcosa del genere: In quasi tutti gli IDE che ho. In this guide, we'll be using Jupyter notebooks to demonstrate markdown, however note that markdown is not Jupyter specific. Many other services and products use it to allow easy text formatting. NOTE: In our quick guide on how to use Jupyter notebooks, we mentioned that Jupyter allows changing the type of a cell to make it a markdown cell.

Text can be added to Jupyter Notebooks using Markdown cells. Markdown isa popular markup language that is a superset of HTML. Its specificationcan be found here:

Markdown basics¶

You can make text italic or bold.

You can build nested itemized or enumerated lists:

One
- Sublist
  - This
- Sublist - That - The other thing
Two
- Sublist
Three
- Sublist

Now another list:

Here we go
1. Sublist
2. Sublist
There we go
Now this

You can add horizontal rules:

Here is a blockquote:

Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit.Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated.Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readabilitycounts. Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules.Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never passsilently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity,refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one– and preferablyonly one –obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obviousat first unless you’re Dutch. Now is better than never. Althoughnever is often better than right now. If the implementation ishard to explain, it’s a bad idea. If the implementation is easy toexplain, it may be a good idea. Namespaces are one honking greatidea – let’s do more of those!

And shorthand for links:

Headings¶

Edit Markdown Cell Jupyter

You can add headings by starting a line with one (or multiple) #followed by a space, as in the following example:

Embedded code¶

You can embed code meant for illustration instead of execution inPython:

or other languages:

LaTeX equations¶

Courtesy of MathJax, you can include mathematical expressions bothinline: (e^{ipi} + 1 = 0) and displayed:

Inline expressions can be added by surrounding the latex code with$:

Expressions on their own line are surrounded by $$:

GitHub flavored markdown¶

The Notebook webapp supports Github flavored markdown meaning that youcan use triple backticks for code blocks:

Gives:

And a table like this:

A nice HTML Table:

This	is
a	table

General HTML¶

Because Markdown is a superset of HTML you can even add things like HTMLtables:

Header 1	Header 2
row 1, cell 1	row 1, cell 2
row 2, cell 1	row 2, cell 2

Local files¶

If you have local files in your Notebook directory, you can refer tothese files in Markdown cells directly:

For example, in the images folder, we have the Python logo:

and a video with the HTML5 video tag:

Create Markdown Cell Jupyter

These do not embed the data into the notebook file, and require that thefiles exist when you are viewing the notebook.
