Embed code for illustration in Jupyter

Question

New to Jupyter.

Want to embed code for illustration without execution in a Markdown cell.

http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples/Notebook/rstversions/Working%20With%20Markdown%20Cells.html

This link basically says one may do it but does not say how to do it. It says for example to make the text a heading, you use the pound sign #. But it does not say how to embed the code but just showed it is doable.

Tried to search online and find the same info as in the link provided.

Answer 1

You can contain the code in three backslashes backticks. If you specify the language in the beginning it will also color code as usual.

e.g.

```python
from pyomo.environ import *
model = Concretemodel()
```

Answer 2

I am a new to Jupyter Notebook too, must say that their documentation is awful as they say what we can do instead of HOW to do it. I have opened already made '.ipynb' notebook and figured it out, I will list a couple of them from unexplained documentation:

1. Make text ITALIC: *Italic*
2. Make text BOLD: **Bold**
3. List item as a bullet: dash and space -
4. List item as a number: Simple as number and dot 1.
5. Indenting text: Greater than and space >
6. Inline code span: Back quotation mark " ` "
7. Block of code: Triple back quotation marks " ``` "
8. Link a section: [Title of Section](#title-of-section)
9. Hyperlink: [Text](URL)

I hope everyone has found their solution.
