from IPython.display import display, Markdown, Latex
display(Markdown('*some markdown* $\phi$'))
# If you particularly want to display maths, this is more direct:
display(Latex('\phi'))
display(Markdown(r'$b = \frac{\epsilon}{2}$'))

Here is the output that I get:
<IPython.core.display.Markdown object>
\phi
<IPython.core.display.Markdown object>

The code is working fine when ran via browser-executed Jupyter Notebook.

I found a Markdown Support module plugin and installed it, but no difference.

Sorry that my first post was placed into AppCode -- I did not see that the below window had a pull-down selection.

from IPython.display import display, Math, Markdown, Latex, display_markdown
display(Markdown('*some markdown* $\phi$'))
# If you particularly want to display maths, this is more direct:
display(Latex('\phi'))
display(Markdown(r'$b = \frac{\epsilon}{2}$'))
display(Math(r'$F(k) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) e^{2\pi i k} dx$'))
display(Math(r'$b = \frac{\epsilon}{2}$'))
display(Math(r'$e^x = \sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{1}{i!}x^i$'))
display(Math(r'$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{u^n}{n!}\Delta^na_i = e^{-u}\sum_{j=0}^\infty\frac{u^j}{j!}a_{i+j} $'))

I continued to look for a solution. Using display(Math()) works -- and it seems to work with or without the $......$ on each side. For my purposes, this solution works fine for me -- I'll have to change code that I have already written, but it is an easy change.

I also tried the new Early Access Program for 2016.3 -- Math works, but Markdown does not.

The one problem that I still see is a lack of cell padding before and after the equation. Can this be changed?

Thanks,

Hi!
Thank you for reporting the problems!

I've created issues dedicated to IPython.display problems on our issue tracker: that is for IPython.display Markdown and that is forIPython.display Math.
