The toggle
extension allows you to toggle between showing code with output or just code by itself in Quarto HTML documents by adding a convenient toggle button that appears when hovering over code blocks, similar to the copy button.

Installation
To install the toggle
extension, follow these steps:
Open your terminal.
Execute the following command:
quarto add coatless-quarto/toggle
This command will download and install the extension under the _extensions
subdirectory of your Quarto project. If you are using version control, ensure that you include this directory in your repository.
Usage
At the top of your Quarto document, include the filters
key with toggle
specified in the YAML header:
---
title: "My Document"
format: html
filters:
- toggle
---
This will allow the toggle extension to be applied to your document.
Cell-Level Configuration
To enable toggle functionality for a specific code cell, add the toggle: true
attribute:
```{python}
#| toggle: true
print("Hello, Python world!")
```
You can also set whether the output is shown or hidden by default using the output-hidden
attribute:
```{r}
#| toggle: true
#| output-hidden: true
print("Hello, R world!")
```
This will hide the output by default, and the user can click the toggle button to show it.
Document-Level Configuration
You can enable toggle functionality for all code cells in your document by adding the following to your YAML header:
---
title: "My Document"
format: html
toggle:
output-toggle: true # Enable toggle buttons for all cells
output-hidden: false # Show outputs initially (default)
filters:
- toggle
---
Priority of Settings
- Cell-level settings override document-level settings
- If no cell-level setting is provided, document-level settings apply
- If neither is provided, toggle is not enabled for that cell
