tag = HTML('''<script>
code_show=true; 
function code_toggle() {
    if (code_show){
        $('div.cell.code_cell.rendered.selected div.input').hide();
    } else {
        $('div.cell.code_cell.rendered.selected div.input').show();
    }
    code_show = !code_show
} 

$( document ).ready(code_toggle);
</script>

To show/hide this cell's raw code input, click <a href="javascript:code_toggle()">here</a>.''')
display(tag)

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.
