How to write text in jupyter / ipython notebook?

Here is an example of IPython notebook in which besides the input and output cells we have a plain text. How can I do the same in my IPython notebook? At the moment I have inly In and Out cells.


Solution 1:

Change the cell type to Markdown in the menu bar, from Code to Markdown. Currently in Notebook 4.x, the keyboard shortcut for such an action is: Esc (for command mode), then m (for markdown).

Solution 2:

As it is written in the documentation you have to change the cell type to a markdown.
