I'm making an assumption that this is even possible, as I cannot find anything about it in the documentation. How does one enter comments (eg just text that is not to be evaluated) into a worksheet?
You can enter comments in an execution cell by beginning the line with a #.
You can open a text cell by hovering your mouse between cells until you see a blue line and shift-clicking.
In Sage Math Cloud, you can use markdown commands by starting the cell with %md and then using markdown commands.
Thank you! Can you point out to me where this is documented so I can see where I went wrong in missing it?
Sage is based on Python, and # is the comment character in Python.
SageMathCloud is extremely new (first basic release was 8 months ago) and many things aren't documented yet. In particular, I don't think %md mode is documented yet. You didn't go wrong by any fault of your own.
It is more documented now. But there should be some icon to click at the top too.
I interpret the answer above for SageMathCloud to be that you evaluate the expression
%md This is a comment.
To get a "text cell" containing "This is a comment"
That doesn't work for me. Is there something similar to Sage where you shift-click for formatted text?
Never mind! I just realized that the file I had imported into my project didn't have the .sagews extension. When I added it, %md worked fine.
ans:
It is as follows. First begin a line with # and go to next line start typing by giving a space or more spaces than the # character kept at the beginning .Then ,after finishing comment go to next line giving one or more spaces type #
