nbconvert to markdown: avoid indents in code cells

Question

I have a working notebook notebook.ipynb which I want to convert to a Markdown file ( output.md ) using nbconvert . I'm looking for a way to avoid code outputs in the original notebook to be indented in the output.md output.

Input notebook.ipynb

Executed command:

jupyter nbconvert --execute --to markdown --output output.md notebook.ipynb

Output:

# This is a simple test


'''python
print("<mark>Test</mark>")
'''

    <mark>Test</mark>

Expected output (no indentation):

# This is a simple test


'''python
print("<mark>Test</mark>")
'''

<mark>Test</mark>

Here's a workaround (not really a solution): using display(HTML()) instead of print() .

Use:

from IPython.display import display, HTML
display(HTML("<mark>Test</mark>"))

instead of:

print("<mark>Test</mark>")
