Can I use a cell option (e.g. echo: false) with a cell magic (e.g. %%latex)?

Description

Can I use a cell option (e.g. echo: false) with a cell magic (e.g. %%latex)?
It seems that both of these must appear on the first line the cell, making them incompatible, but it seems like a pretty standard use case.

If this isn't possible, what's the best alternative (especially to support latex)?

[joshuabambrick]

You can set default cell options which do apply to these cells. But these cells are typically exceptional; in this case, I don't want to display the raw latex code but I do want to show the code of regular code cells.

Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? The goal is to make it as easy as possible for us to recreate your problem so that we can fix it: please help us help you! Thanks.

A screenshot without alternative text is unfortunately not usable to reproduce your issue nor allow users using assistive technology to be able to read your post.

---

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

R	Python
````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: knitr --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{r} x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25) plot(x, y) ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````	````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: jupyter --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{python} import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code blocks (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

Why do you want or need cell magic for LaTeX?
