Hide Code when exporting Jupyter notebook to HTML

I'm looking for a way to hide code cells (inputs) when export my .iipynb file to a HTML. I don't want the code cells to be visible at all (not some button that turn them off/on). The output is for people that have no idea what a programming language is. I tried many things that I found on the internet but nothing seems to work.

Thanks

Solution 1:

as of now (nbconvert version 5.6.0) the easiest solution seems to be to provide the argument --no-input when using the CLI interface of nbconvert:

jupyter nbconvert yourNotebook.ipynb --no-input

it works like magic more info here

Solution 2:

You can do this with an NBConvert template. Most of the examples out there are for latex/PDF, and won't work with HTML, which uses a different set of templates (and, for some reason, a different extension and slightly different file syntax).

Write the following into a template file called hidecode.tpl:

{%- extends 'full.tpl' -%}

{% block input_group %}
    {%- if cell.metadata.get('nbconvert', {}).get('show_code', False) -%}
        ((( super() )))
    {%- endif -%}
{% endblock input_group %}

Then convert your notebook to HTML with:

jupyter nbconvert --to html --template hidecode YourNotebook.ipynb

Solution 3:

In recent versions of jupyter nbconvert you can use the --no-input option:

echo 'A Markdown cell with an equation $x=y+1$

```python
1 + 1
```
' | jupytext --to ipynb | jupyter nbconvert --stdin --execute --no-input --to html --output notebook.html

Now if you don't have the --no-input option, use --TemplateExporter.exclude_input=True, which is available from version 5.2.1 on.
