Hello maintainers,

Sorry to bother you, I'm not sure if my problem is due to either IPython / Jupyter / Gitlab, so maybe it will be closed soon.
I'm encountering the same problem than in some issues ex: jupyter/nbconvert#145 (and a lot of other on stackoverflow which use markdown to render math functions).

I want to dynamically render some markdown output in a Python cell but all I get when using display(Markdown(<string>) is <IPython.core.display.Markdown object> as shown below:

The code used is:

        name = '## Working on %s' % host["host"]
        display({'text/plain': name, 'text/markdown': name}, raw=True)
        display(Markdown(name))

I'm using the text/plain workaround for the moment which display the text but I would like to have the output rendered if possible :)

I would expect that the process for display.Markdown would render the markdown string into HTML but it seems it does not... or am I missing some call ?

For a markdown object in display I get:

with outpout source for the notebook as:

While a panda table in display is rendered as;

Sorry to bother you and thanks for reading until the end (I cannot seems to find any relevant information from stackoverflow or others T.T).

Regards
