I didn't get it. How it works. Where should I put my own code?

Yeah, I'm not getting this either. I just want to hide most of my code and leave other code unhidden, is there a way to do this with .ipynb files?
BTW, I have the hide code in my file on my desktop just the way I want it, it appears to ignore this on commit

  • Copy the whole code segment in this gist (from line 1 to line 22)
  • paste it in any cell in your notebook
  • Write the code segment after line 22, you know after the last commented line
  • execute that cell, you should see only one line before clicking the link

Is there a way to maintain this functionality when the notebook is saved as an html file?

@Geekgineer and @Zsailer Thanks!! Yours solution worked great. I know it is redundant, but seems necessary for some of my users. Would there be a way to add a second button that runs the cell?

Tried this and it doesn't seem to work in JupyterLab anymore? When I click the hyperlinked 'here' it redirects me to a blank html page in my browser.

Is there a way to do this using R in a Markdown document in Vertex-Jupyter Lab to produce a HTML file? I can only seem to hide all code, rather than a specific cell.
