One of the things I've found my self doing more and more is making use of cell tags (particularly the active-ipynb tag in Jupytext to comment out code cells in paired text documents).
Spotting a Twitter cry against using R backed notebooks in Jupyter and note being able to invoke Rmd style echo=FALSE tags, this made me:
a) think of the hide_code extension;
b) wonder about Rmd code chunk options;
c) wonder whether a tags based approach might be a useful addition to hide_code (I find I don't get on with cell toolbars very well; I prefer a text approach).
Rmd chunk options include (from the docs):
include = FALSE: prevents code and results from appearing in the finished file. R Markdown still runs the code in the chunk, and the results can be used by other chunks.
echo = FALSE: prevents code, but not the results from appearing in the finished file. This is a useful way to embed figures.
message = FALSE: prevents messages that are generated by code from appearing in the finished file.
warning = FALSE: prevents warnings that are generated by code from appearing in the finished.
fig.cap = "..."
I wonder if it would be useful to try to mirror that in a set of suitably processed notebook tags. (hide_code already has a lot of machinery that can handle the processing, I think?)
I'm not sure what the best form for tags would be? Possibilities might include:
Adding one of these tags would then invoke the appropriate code hiding / output displaying option(s).
I don't think there is much machinery for supporting tag mediate display in notebooks yet (certainly, I'd also like an easy way to to be able to tag a cell so it could be styled / themed differently to other cells (eg here) but maybe that's just me!
