Hide cell contents

You can use Jupyter Notebook cell tags to control some of the behavior of the rendered notebook.¹ If you are using cell tags for the first time, you can read more about them in this tutorial https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/content/metadata.html#add-metadata-to-notebooks

Hide code cells

You can use cell tags to control the content hidden with code cells at the cell level. Add the following tags to a cell's metadata to control what to hide in code cells:

• hide-input tag to hide the cell inputs
• hide-output to hide the cell outputs
• hide-cell to hide the entire cell

For example, we'll show cells with each below.

:tags: [remove-cell]

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
data = np.random.rand(2, 100) * 100

Here is a cell with a hide-input tag.

:tags: [hide-input]

# This cell has a hide-input tag
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points =ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])

Here's a cell with a hide-output tag:

:tags: [hide-output]

# This cell has a hide-output tag
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points =ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])

Here's a cell with both hide-input and hide-output tags:

:tags: [hide-input, hide-output]

# This cell has a hide-output tag
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points =ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])

Here's a cell with a hide-cell tag:

:tags: [hide-cell]

# This cell has a hide-cell tag
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points =ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])

Finally, a cell with both remove-input (see below) and hide-output tags:

:tags: [remove-input, hide-output]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points = ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])

You can control the hide/show prompts by using the code_prompt_show and code_prompt_hide configuration options. The optional {type} placeholder will be replaced with content, source, or outputs, depending on the hide tag. See the {ref}config/intro section for more details.

```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [hide-cell]
:mystnb:
:  code_prompt_show: "My show prompt for {type}"
:  code_prompt_hide: "My hide prompt for {type}"

print("hallo world")
```

:tags: [hide-cell]
:mystnb:
:  code_prompt_show: "My show prompt for {type}"
:  code_prompt_hide: "My hide prompt for {type}"

print("hallo world")

(use/hiding/markdown)=

Hide markdown cells

You cannot hide an entire markdown cell, but you can hide sections of markdown content by using roles and directives.

For information on how to hide / toggle markdown content in Sphinx, see either the sphinx-togglebutton documentation or the sphinx-design dropdowns documentation.

(use/removing)=

Remove parts of cells

Sometimes, you want to entirely remove parts of a cell so that it doesn't make it into the output at all.

To do this at the global level, use the nb_remove_code_source or nb_remove_code_outputs configuration options, or at a per-file level, e.g.

---
mystnb:
  remove_code_source: true
  remove_code_outputs: true
---

See the configuration section for more details.

At a per-cell level you can use the same tag pattern described above, but with the word remove_ instead of hide_. Use the following tags:

• remove-input tag to remove the cell inputs
• remove-output to remove the cell outputs
• remove-cell to remove the entire cell

+++

Here is a cell with a remove-input tag. The inputs will not make it into the page at all.

:tags: [remove-input]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points =ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])

Here's a cell with a remove-output tag:

:tags: [remove-output]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points = ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])

And the following cell has a remove-cell tag (there should be nothing below, since the cell will be gone).

:tags: [remove-cell]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
points = ax.scatter(*data, c=data[0], s=data[0])
