How to use inline code in markdown in Jupyter with R?
CODE CELL
n <- 8
MARKDOWN CELL
The Number is {{n}}
What would be the correct syntax in Jupyter Markdown for R? Is it even possible?
In case you haven't done it already, you might want to give the python markdown extension a shot, that adds the markdown inline code functionality for Python to Jupyter notebooks. On their github they claim:
The Python Markdown extension allows displaying output produced by the current kernel in markdown cells. The extension is basically agnostic to the kernel language, however most testing has been done using Python.
Installation instructions are on the github page of the nbextensions. Make sure you'll enable the python markdown extension using a jupyter command or the extension configurator.
Calling variables then should work inside a markdown cell with the {{var-name}} syntax that you've already given (described in the readme of the corresponding github page (linked in the wiki)).
If this doesn't help, you might want to join the discussion of the corresponding issues in the issue trackers for ipython and jupyter.
