Include HTML in a Pandas DataFrame cell in the IPython Notebook?

Question

How can I include HTML in the table produced by a DataFrame in an IPython notebook?

For example, I'd like to be able to do something like:

pd.DataFrame({
    "text": ["Hello <strong>world</strong>"],
})

To produce a table something like:

<table>
  <tr><th></th><th>text</th></tr>
  <tr><th>0</th><td>Hello <strong>world</strong></tr>
</table>

I don't think the pandas notebook display is really meant for that kind of thing. — BrenBarn

Have you tried pandas.DataFrame.to_html See here for more info. For fantastic examples on using IPython Notebook to display html, svg, image etc see here

Works like this on IPython Notebook;

from IPython.display import HTML
data = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,2,3,4,5],'B':[6,7,8,9,10]})
h = HTML(data.to_html());h

looks like you might want to try escape=False

What is escape=False?

Yes, this solved my issue (wanting to embed a button). "escape=False" will tell pandas to render the content as is e.g. without adding escape characters to your html.
