Print function does not display anything in the notebook

[RafailFridman]

Hello!
I'm on Windows 10, installed Julia on WSL (Ubuntu), and running Pluto notebook via Pluto.run(1234) from Julia REPL. But unfortunately, the print function apparently does not work:

Is it supposed to be like this? If yes, then what should I use for printing something out?

Yes.
You will see the output in the console window where you started Pluto.
With using PlutoUI you can write

with_terminal() do
    f(123)
end

There is the pending PR JuliaPluto/PlutoUI.jl#40 which adds a height limitation to the output.

The idea behind is to force us to present calculation data in a better way than to just print some ascii strings. For me this is an interesting challenge which may lead to better ways to present results...

@j-fu Thanks! It will be an interesting challenge indeed :)
By the way, just to not open another issue:
Is it possible to open a Pluto notebook without running all of the code inside of it?

[j-fu]

See e.g. #298 and JuliaPluto/PlutoUI.jl#46
I would say this is being discussed.
What I am doing for the time being is with PlutoUI:

@bind  go_for_it CheckBox(false)

if go_for_it
    run_next_calculation()
end

Thanks for the questions!
