Basic Display System in Apache Zeppelin
Text
By default, Apache Zeppelin prints interpreter response as a plain text using text display system.

You can explicitly say you're using text display system.

Html
With %html directive, Zeppelin treats your output as HTML

Mathematical expressions
HTML display system automatically formats mathematical expression using MathJax. You can use
\\( INLINE EXPRESSION \\) and $$ EXPRESSION $$ to format. For example

Table
If you have data that row separated by \n (newline) and column separated by \t (tab) with first row as header row, for example

You can simply use %table display system to leverage Zeppelin's built in visualization.

If table contents start with %html, it is interpreted as an HTML.

Note : Display system is backend independent.
