Question

I tried looking in the docs for this but I could not find any options on how to hide the output of a specific notebook cells. Did I miss something?

Motivation

The reason I'm asking is because I'm currently working on an examples gallery with Plotly and I sometimes want to have cells with something like:

fig.update_layout(
    foo="Bar",
    bar="Foo",
)

but since update_layout return a plotly figure, this is automatically captured by Sphinx-Gallery and include in the output.

A workaround would be to assign it back to a variable:

fig = fig.update_layout(
    foo="Bar",
    bar="Foo",
)

but I want to be consistent and follow the same standards used throughout the Plotly official docs (they always threat the Figure object as mutable and never reassign back to a fig variable). See this for instance.
