Jupyter Notebook Markdown

by



Colaboratory is a free Jupyter notebook environment that requires no setup and runs entirely in the cloud. Both of them support Markdown which is a markup language that is a superset of HTML. Latex to render mathematical and scientific writing. Jupyter (formerly IPython Notebook) is an open-source project that lets you easily combine Markdown text and executable Python source code on one canvas called a notebook. Visual Studio Code supports working with Jupyter Notebooks natively, as well as through Python code files.

You can write content in regular Markdown files (e.g., files ending in .md).Jupyter Book supports any Markdown syntax that is supported by Jupyter notebooks.Jupyter Notebook Markdown is an extension of a flavour of Markdown calledCommonMark Markdown.It has many elements for standard text processing, though it lacks a lot of features used forpublishing and documentation.

Note

If you’d like a more in-depth overview and guide to CommonMark Markdown, seethe CommonMark Markdown tutorial.

This page describes some basic features of the Jupyter Notebook Markdown, and how toinclude them with your book.

Embedding media¶

Adding images¶

Jupyter

You can reference external media like images from your Markdown file. If you userelative paths, then they will continue to work when the Markdown files are copied over,so long as they point to a file that’s inside of the repository.

Here’s an image relative to the book content root

It was generated with this code:

Adding movies¶

You can even embed references to movies on the web! For example, here’s a little GIF for you!

This will be included in your book when it is built.

Mathematics¶

For HTML outputs, Jupyter Book uses the excellent MathJax library,along with the default Jupyter Notebook configuration, for rendering mathematics from LaTeX-style syntax.

For example, here’s a mathematical expression rendered with MathJax:

[begin{split}P(A_1 cup A_2 cup A_3)& = P(B cup A_3) & = P(B) + P(A_3) - P(BA_3) &= P(A_1) + P(A_2) - P(A_1A_2) + P(A_3) - P(A_1A_3 cup A_2A_3) &= sum_{i=1}^3 P(A_i) - mathop{sum sum}_{1 le i < j le 3} P(A_iA_j) + P(A_1A_2A_3)end{split}]

Block-level mathematics¶

You can include block-level mathematics by wrapping your formulas in $$ characters.For example, the following block:

Results in this output:

Notebook
[wow = its^{math}]

You can also include math blocks by using LaTeX-style syntax using begin{align*}.For example, the following block:

Results in:

[begin{align*}yep = its_{more}^{math}end{align*}]

Jupyter Notebook Markdown Language

Important

This requires the amsmath MyST extension to be enabled.

Extended Markdown with MyST Markdown¶

Jupyter Notebook Markdown File

In addition to CommonMark Markdown, Jupyter Book also supports a more fully-featured version of Markdown called MyST Markdown.This is a superset of CommonMark that includes syntactic pieces that are useful for publishing computational narratives.For more information about MyST Markdown, see MyST Markdown overview.
