ShowCellTags

ShowCellTags

is an option for Cell that specifies whether to display tags for a cell.

Details

  • ShowCellTags is more often set for styles of cells than for individual cells.

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

Create two tagged cells, one with the tag showing, the other with the tag hidden:

Wolfram Language code: CellPrint[{TextCell["text 1", "Text", CellTags -> "t1", ShowCellTags -> True], TextCell["text 2", "Text", CellTags -> "t2", ShowCellTags -> False]}]

A hidden tag can still be used to locate a cell:

Wolfram Language code: NotebookLocate["t2"];SelectionMove[EvaluationNotebook[], All, CellContents];NotebookRead[EvaluationNotebook[]]
