Evaluatable
Evaluatable
is an option for Cell that specifies whether a cell should be used as input to be evaluated by the Wolfram Language kernel.
Details
- With Evaluatable->True, typing
![TemplateBox[{shift, return}, Key1, BaseStyle -> {Notes, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Source Sans Pro}]](Files/Evaluatable.en/1.png "TemplateBox[{shift, return}, Key1, BaseStyle -> {Notes, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Source Sans Pro}]")
in the front end when the cell is selected will cause the contents of the cell to be sent to the Wolfram Language kernel for evaluation. - Evaluatable is more often set for styles of cells than for individual cells.
Examples
Basic Examples (2)
Use Evaluatable settings to specify whether a cell can be evaluated:
nb = CreateDocument[{TextCell["2+2", "Text", Evaluatable -> True], ExpressionCell[Defer[3 + 3], "Input", Evaluatable -> False]}];SelectionMove[nb, All, Notebook];
The first cell can be evaluated, and the second cell cannot:
SelectionEvaluate[nb]
A cell that cannot be evaluated:
CellPrint[ExpressionCell[Defer[1 + 1], "Input", Evaluatable -> False]]1 + 1
