Is there a way to get a Markdown cell in iPython Notebooks to highlight syntax in code blocks?
For instance, in GitHub, one can get the desired effect via the following.
```python
>>>print('hello')
```

Highlight Code If you want to highlight a function or some code within a plain text paragraph, you can use one backtick on each side of the text like this: `Here is some code!`
You can change the cell type of any cell in Jupyter Notebook using the Toolbar. The default cell type is Code. To use the Keyboard Shortcuts, hit the esc key. After that, you can change a cell to Markdown by hitting the m key, or you can change a cell to Code by hitting the y key.
Markdown cells can be selected in Jupyter Notebook by using the drop-down or also by the keyboard shortcut 'm/M' immediately after inserting a new cell.
Just double click on the markdown cell. Edit what you want to and Run. It will reflect the changes.
The GitHub Flavored Markdown-style of denoting code using the triple-backtick is now supported in IPython master branch on GitHub, and so will be included in the 1.0 release.
As Jakob noted, even prior to this, you could use regular markdown for code, in which you just need to indent your code by four spaces, and this continues to be a valid way of displaying code in your IPython notebook.

using IPython 0.13.1 syntax highlighting is as easy as (in a markdown cell):
some text
def foo():
print 'bar'
return 0
some text
Just, use a blank line before and indent the code (see example notebooks shipped with Ipython). This works for Python and some other languages.

In IPython 7.2.0 notebooks you can use:
Text `code` text
in a markdown cell to print highlighted code inline.
