Writing In MyST Markdown

Use MyST Markdown to author rich narrative and integrate computation.

Creating a New File

After following Initialise a Project, our book has some metadata describing its content. Let’s now add some content by creating a new file intro.md. Here’s an example of what you might write:

The above “widget” shows both the contents of intro.md, and what the underlying MyST-MD engine produces when you build the project as a website. Whilst this is a contrived example, it gives a taste of some of the things you can do with Jupyter Book using MyST Markdown and the MyST-MD engine. For more information on the syntax of MyST Markdown, and the features supported by MyST-MD, see the MyST-MD authoring documentation.

Now we’re ready to Build a Website.
