I have a markdown cell in iPython that contains four dollar signs. iPython interprets anything between dollar signs as a MathJax expression, which is not what I want. How do I escape the dollar signs? Escaping them with a backslash prevents MathJax from kicking in, but the backslash shows in the compiled Markdown.
ANy ideas on how to get just the dollar sign?
Thanks

Markdown allows you to use a backslash to escape from the functions of the following characters: \ backslash.
Capturing Output With %%capture IPython has a cell magic, %%capture , which captures the stdout/stderr of a cell. With this magic you can discard these streams or store them in a variable. By default, %%capture discards these streams. This is a simple way to suppress unwanted output.
This means that your kernel is busy. If you want to interrupt/stop the execution, go to the menu Kernel and click Interrupt. If it doesn't work, click Restart. You need to go in a new cell and press Shift + Enter to see if it worked.
In markdown editors such as GitHub , or Jupyter notebook , with MathJax available, you can use double backslash and a dollar sign together to show any amount or range of amount in the dollar. Note that, in StackExchange or any StackOverflow related site, a single backslash is enough.
Put two backslashes in front of dollar signs. For example:
Some prices: \\$3.10, \\$4.25, \\$8.50.
