Currently, Teragrep has Apache Zeppelin's dynamic form feature for markdown language: https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.10.1/usage/dynamic_form/intro.html

In markdown, you can trigger inputs with ${input name} (scoped to a paragraph) or create a notebook scope with $${input name}.

The issue is; how does this feature benefit the user? What is the extra value it gives to the user? Why does this even exist?

Currently, $${input name} doesn't even work correctly. It only gives errors when used. Also, you can't use values in ${input name} input in other paragraphs.

In addition, markdown language is meant to be a lightweight mark-up language which can be used to format body text. Why should this kind of feature be included in this interpreter since we have other interpreters which does the same much better?

Let's consider removing this feature from markdown interpreter.
