Live Code, Documenting Analysis with Markdown Text We will now continue from where we left last video by working with yet another cell type called markdown cells. Markdown cells are a very helpful tool for scientific research and data analysis. They give our work more structure and clarity by enabling us to write and format content inside Jupyter notebooks. Markdown cells are a useful and crucial component of Jupyter notebooks since they allow us to quickly and easily write headings, lists, and even equations. We must first open a new cell in our notebook before we can construct a markdown cell. Using the + toolbar button, which will insert a new cell beneath the one that is presently highlighted, we may accomplish this. Once we've created our new cell, we can switch it from being used for code to being used for markdown by selecting "markdown" from the dropdown menu in the notebook's top right corner. We can enter text rather than code in a markdown cell when creating one. This is excellent for explaining our procedures and outcomes clearly and documenting our data analysis process. Our text can be organized using headings to make it simple to read and comprehend. We utilize the hashtag symbol, a space, and the heading's text to construct headings. To make headlines of various sizes, we can use one, two, or three hashtags. Markdown cells also support bullet lists, which are a great way to list items or concepts. To create a bullet list, we start by typing an asterisk followed by a space. Everything we put after the asterisk and space is rendered into a bulleted list. For example, we could create a list of fish: -One fish -Two fish -Red fish -Blue fish When we run this code, the list is displayed as a bulleted list in our markdown cell. We can format text using bold, italics, and other styles in Markdown cells as well. We surround text with two asterisks to make it bold. For instance, we would type "example text" if we wanted to make the word bold. Similarly, we enclose text with a single asterisk to make it italic. For instance, we would write "example text" if we wanted to make the text "example text" italic. We can also include links in our markdown cells. To create a link, we simply type the URL and Jupyter will automatically format it as a clickable link. For example, if we wanted to create a link to Google, we would type "http://www.google.com" and Jupyter would format it as a link. One of the most powerful features of markdown cells is their support for LaTeX equations. LaTeX is a document editing language that is widely used in scientific research. With LaTeX, we can create complex equations and mathematical expressions that would be difficult to represent in plain text. To use LaTeX equations in our markdown cells, we simply surround the equation with dollar signs. For example, if we wanted to create the equation for the area of a circle, we would write "$A = \pi r^2$". Markdown cells enable a broad variety of sophisticated formatting choices in addition to these fundamental ones. In addition to a wide variety of other content kinds, markdown cells also support photos, tables, and code blocks. We can develop detailed and rich documentation for our data analysis pipeline using markdown cells, making it simple to share our work with others and have them replicate our results. Markdown cells are a crucial tool for anyone using Jupyter notebooks, to sum up. They enable us to give our work more organization and clarity, which makes it simpler to read and comprehend. We have the ability to present our work whichever best serves us by using markdown cells to generate headlines, bullet lists, equations, and many other sorts of material.
