I know code, I understood markdown.
I have read this Raw cells article, but could not make out much.
And what is esoteric NBConvert?
Please throw some light.

There are three types of cells: code cells, markdown cells, and raw cells. Every cell starts off being a code cell, but its type can be changed by using a drop-down on the toolbar (which will be “Code”, initially), or via keyboard shortcuts.
You can use raw NB Convert cells to write output directly or save code that you don't want to run. Raw cells are not evaluated by the notebook.
Markdown cell displays text which can be formatted using markdown language. In order to enter a text which should not be treated as code by Notebook server, it must be first converted as markdown cell either from cell menu or by using keyboard shortcut M while in command mode.
The updated docs at https://nbsphinx.readthedocs.io/en/0.3.1/raw-cells.html explain it pretty well.
Basically it's only of any use if you intend to use the command line tool nbconvert to convert the notebook to another format (such as HTML or Latex). When you do, cells marked as Raw NBConvert Format will be converted in a way specific to the output you're targetting.
