nested cells

use case¶

it’s sometimes useful to create a code-cell that is not a first-level object in the flat data model that jupyter lab would consider

for example, you want to create an executable cell within an admonition; your first attempt would be

::::{admonition} I have an included executable cell

some text before

```{code-cell} python
print("I am inside the admonition)
```

some text after
::::

kind of works¶

which indeed would work in MyST (as in: the cell is executed):

BUT if you try to open this in JupyterLab, then this time the cell is not executed

the workaround¶

https://mystmd.org/guide/exercises#directive-solution suggests a way to deal with this situation in the context of exercises

here we try to see if the same holds with, say admonition or grid directives

admonition¶

some text before

print("I am inside the admonition")

The history saving thread hit an unexpected error (OperationalError('attempt to write a readonly database')).History will not be written to the database.I am inside the admonition

some text after
