Markdown-Notizen neben Ihrem Code

A notebook cell can hold code or words. Switching one to a Markdown cell lets you write notes that sit right beside your analysis.

Select a cell, press Esc, then M to turn it into a Markdown cell. Press Y to turn it back into code whenever you need.

A Markdown cell shows raw text until you run it. Shift+Enter renders it into clean, formatted prose, just like running code.

Start a line with # to make a heading. More hashes mean smaller headings, so you can outline your analysis like a real document.

Wrap words in double stars for bold and single stars for italic. A little emphasis makes the key finding jump off the page.

Begin lines with a dash to build a list. Lists are perfect for laying out the steps or assumptions behind your analysis.

Add a link by putting text in brackets and the URL in parentheses. Now your reader can jump straight to the data source.

Wrap a name in single backticks to show it as inline code. It signals that df or mean() is a literal name, not prose.

Pipes and dashes build a small table in Markdown. Use it to summarize a result without writing a single line of code.

Wrap an expression in dollar signs to render math. It is ideal for showing the formula behind a metric right in your notes.

Good Markdown turns a pile of cells into a story a teammate, or future you, can follow months later without guessing.

You want a large title above your data-cleaning section in a notebook.

You can now write Markdown cells with headings, lists, links, tables, and math, so your analysis explains itself clearly. 📝
