display(fig) problems

[asinghvi17]

I don't really like having to call display on every figure or "sub-figure" in a cell with multiple figures. There is a way to not have to do this in QuartoNotebookRunner - we can create a struct which QNB knows to expand. This way we can simply pass all of the figures in a hidden line.

The QNB devs are using this internally so we're reasonably sure it won't break.

Two questions arise.

• How can you hide a single line in Quarto?
• Is it worth it to add this complexity to the book? People won't see it when reading the textbook, but they will if they open it for e.g notes.

There is a quarto extension code-visibility with which you can hide single lines in quarto
You have to add this to the header of the qmd:

filters:
  - code-visibility

This is the extension https://github.com/jjallaire/code-visibility
You can then add #| hide_line at the end of a line to hide it.

@felixcremer thanks for the tip! Works well locally. Do you need to commit the _extension folder to the repo too?

[felixcremer]

Yes I think so.
