How to hide code input in RST files

[fmaussion]

Hi, I'm trying to convert my sphinx rst RTD theme to the sphinx book theme. I am stuck with RST then.

My question is: how do I convert the following markdown directive:

  ```{code-cell} ipython3
  :tags: [remove_cell]
  
  # Generate some code that we'll use later on in the page
  import numpy as np
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
  square = np.random.randn(100, 100)
  wide = np.random.randn(100, 1000)
  \```

into valid rst syntax? I tried:

.. ipython:: python
    :hide_input:

But the tag isn't recognized.

Furthermore, I wondered why my outputs look like this:

While the code snippets on your doc look so pretty (no ipython prompts 🤩) :

Is there any way to reach the same while staying in rst?

No these only work with markdown, since the document is first converted to a jupyter notebook (unless you added a custom converter)

Cheers @chrisjsewell - I understand. I wish mardown-sphinx had existed 5 years ago ;-)

As a quick note, jupyter-sphinx works in rst (NB: I'm its maintainer). It is much more bare-bones, but it may fit your use case.

Thanks @akhmerov ! Indeed it works well! The outputs may not look as pretty as in jupyter-book but it does what I need!

(I will use it - it is really a nice project)

It would be great if I could piggy-back on the styles defined by the JB, but that requires some more work to happen in defining a common interface for jupyter-related data (#152)

@fmaussion glad jupyter-sphinx works for your use case -- it's a great project 👍

If you ever wanted to migrate your rst to myst:md this project is super handy and makes migration pretty simple.
