jupyter-notebook markdown for multiline code

Question

I know that in order to include code in jupyter-notebook as markdown (i.e not to be executed), it is possible to enclose it in this symbol (`)

The thing is this only supports short expressions that occur in the same line, what if I want to include something like:

def x(state):
    return state[0] == 'W'

And have it not be executed, and continue with the markdown. Is there a special trick for multiline code?

Answer 1

use this markdown syntax will work in markdown cell in jupyter.

 ```python    
 def x(state):
    return state[0] == 'W'
 ```

python above is optional.

Answer 2

I had the same problem today, updating ruby to 3.0.0 seems to solve this problem. Ubuntu for some reason downloads version 2.7.0, I used this article to help me install ruby 3.0.0

You will obviously also need to change the version in Gemfile and ruby-version file.
