Is there a way to add embedded python code to Markdown?

Question

There is a way to add R code to Markdown (Rmd) by using

```{r}
foo()
```

The result will be shown as a block of code and the output of that code (that will be calculated dynamically).

Can the same thing be done for Python or for that matter any other language?

What do you mean by "add embedded Python code"? Do you want the code to actually be executed? Or just formatted correctly and included in the HTML? — kindall

I want to execute the code. I added the word 'execute' to the question, thanks for pointing it out. — user1335014

you can simply use:

```python 
your_code = do_some_stuff
```

And yes, you can do the same for a long list of languages. You can check the list of languages supported in this link: https://rdmd.readme.io/docs/code-blocks

you can embed python into .Rmd as well, see https://github.com/yihui/knitr-examples/blob/master/023-engine-python.Rmd for examples

marky is Markdown preprocessor allowing to execute embedded python code in Markdown documents. Documents are rendered in pdf and html using pandoc. All steps are implemented in a Makefile.
