I just had an idea for a feature and wanted some feedback before I implement it.<div><br></div><div>There's a pull request in the nbconvert queue to suppress certain content types at export time. I was wondering if it would make sense to use the new cell metadata mechanism to allow selective suppression of individual cells at export time: either the input, the output, or both.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I guess my thought is that sometimes, you don't want to know how the sausage is made; sometimes you just want the image and not the code to generate it to be displayed in the tutorial/book/etc. Things like %pylab inline don't necessarily add much to a printed document either. Of course, if they grab the ipython notebook format, that code will all be there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thoughts? Any preferences on key names, values, etc.?</div>
