Hide_code

Release: Dev:

New in 0.3.0 Release

HTML & PDF exporting bug fixes. Cell output hiding (thanks to @acspike).

Introduction

hide_code is an extension for Jupyter/IPython notebooks to selectively hide code, prompts and outputs. Make a notebook a code free document for presenting with a single click by pressing

Normal

Hide code enabled

Or customize each cell by selecting "Hide code" from the Cell Toolbar dropdown. Then use "Hide Code" and "Hide Prompts" checkboxes to hide the specific cell's code or cell's input/output prompts.

Normal

Hide code enabled

Exporting

Hide_code adds HTML, PDF via HTML, and PDF via Latex export options to Jupyter. Exporting respects hide_code's code, prompt, and output selections; these must be saved prior to exporting.

Notes

Exporting to PDF via HTML requires wkhtmltopdf! Exporting to PDF via Latex requires a Tex library.

This feature continues to evolve. Items on the road map incude:

• saving as a different file name.
• support for custom CSS.
• single click exporting with all code and prompts hidden (similar to how the toolbar button).

Via notebook

To export via HTML or PDF simply click on the respective button.

Via nbconvert command line

To export via nbconvert command line, nbconvert 4.2 or later is required. Hide_code adds three export options to nbconvert, hide_code_html, hide_code_pdf, and hide_code_latexpdf.

Note: PDF exporting via command line uses nbconvert's built in PDF exporter.

jupyter nbconvert --to hide_code_html notebook_to_convert.ipynb

jupyter nbconvert --to hide_code_pdf notebook_to_convert.ipynb

`jupyter nbconvert --to hide_code_latexpdf notebook_to_convert.ipynb'

import hide_code.hide_code as hc
dir = "<full path to Jupyter config directory>"
hc.install(dir)

• Jupyter notebook 4.x+
• Jupyter nbconvert 4.2+ if using nbconvert command line exporting
