Using the Markdown Cell
In the Markdown cell, you can insert formatted text, explanations, and documentation in a notebook. This helps improve the clarity and readability of notebooks. For example, you can use Markdown to group queries, add comments, and provide descriptions of the code.
To add a new Markdown cell, click Markdown. Enter the markdown-formatted text and click Stop Editing Cell (Ctrl+Alt+Enter).
