title: Use of markdown in loops in Jupyter notebooks
body: <p>I have a Python program (more exactly a suite of programs) which I want to add more markdown comments in order to be train/document using them. In some of them the comments would naturally be placed go inside long loops.</p>
  <p>My understanding is that if you split the loop by inserting a markdown cell the notebook will not execute the loop, since it sees the end of the cell as being the end of an executable block.</p>
  <p>Is there a way round this? If so then what strategies do people adopt in such circumstances. Obviously, heavy standard-format Python commenting within the code is one option, but rather seems to defeat the purpose of Jupyter particularly if the comments need to be fairly detailed.</p>
