ViewsInserting comments into jupyter notebook
I hope this is not a redundant question, but I was not able to find a proper answer and tutorial. I am currently learning Data Science and therefore use kaggle competition for practice and jupyter notebook to tackle them (as it is visually more appealing to me). Now I stumbled upon an example kernel (see: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/agconti/kaggle-titanic/blob/master/Titanic.ipynb#Data-Handling) is using comments, links and illustrations between his codes to give more context.
Is anybody aware of how to write such comments and remarks within jupyter? If so, do you have an online resource where I could learn this?
Thanks a bunch!

Yep - highlight a cell and click on the "Cell" dropdown menu and go to "Cell Type" and choose "Markdown". Then you can type any markdown text you'd like and it will render as such.
^^ Also there are shortcuts for changing cell types as well. Highlight a cell and press the esc key to change into "command" mode and press m. This changes it to a markdown cell. Press y to change it back to a code cell.
You can also do latex equations using dollar signs ($). There is documentation for this here

For markdown cells
[//]: # "Your comment in here."
allows to include a comment in jupyter notebook server version 6.0.1. See this discussion for more details on markdown comments.

Agree with @RSHAP. I just add the flow picture in the below.
select the active Cell > Cell Type > Markdown.
