Applies To

  • Notebooks (.ipynb files)
  • Interactive Window and/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)

What happened?

In a .py file, I wrote a markdown cell with python strings (multiple line comments):

#%% [markdown]

"""
# H1 Title

description 1

- item 1
    - item 2
- item 3

description 2

- item 4
    - item 5
- item 6
"""

I run the cell (ctrl + enter), but it shows:

The line breaks and the indentation of list items are incorrect.

Additionally, writing code block within python comments

#%% [markdown]

"""
Writing code blocks in markdown:

```shell
# Comment 1
$ ls 

# Comment 2
$ ls -lh
```
"""

shows no line breaks:
