7 To Jupyter users: Magics are specifit to the IPython kernel. Other kernels
8 may be implementing magics but this decision is a per-kernel one. To be able
9 to work, Magics need to use a syntax which is not valid in the language they
10 are implemented. IPython choosed the `%` as it is not a valid unary operator
11 in Python. It is in other languages.

8 Whether magics are available on a kernel is a decision that is made by
9 the kernel developer on a per-kernel basis. To work properly, Magics must
10 use a syntax element which is not valid in the underlying language. For
11 example, the IPython kernel uses the `%` syntax element for magics as `%`
12 is not a valid unary operator in Python. While, the syntax element has
13 meaning in other languages.
