Mix python output and markdown in jupyter

Question

I want to be able to show the result of a python computation and have some explanation of it in Markdown. This seems like a fairly simple operation, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is there any way to do this without installing any extensions to Jupyter?

Answer 1

In the toolbar (see image here http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/jupyter-notebook-default.png), you can set the cell as Markdown in the drop down menu for explanatory text.
