Bokeh plots do not render with cell tags

[jeff-tilton]

Describe the bug

context
Bokeh plots do not render when pages contain cell tags example remove-cell or remove-input. This happens regardless of where the cell tags are, even if they are not within the cell that contains the bokeh plot.

expectation
I expected the bokeh plots to render if cell tags are in the jupyter notebook.

bug
Bokeh plots do not render, the below error is seen upon console inspection.

Bokeh: ERROR: Unable to run BokehJS code because BokehJS library is missing

problem
I have a lot of interactive plots that work when I do not use cell tags, but disappear when I add the cell tags, making my presentation currently unusable.

Reproduce the bug

A repository, with an example can be seen here.
The above repository has a github page with the error here.

Currently, the remove-cell etc. tags prevent the nodes from being included in the final document at all, whilst the hide-cell tag introduces a button to show the hidden content.

In this case, we want to include these cells in the document, but render them invisible e.g. if the cell includes a stylesheet or script. What you might need to do is use a custom tag and a CSS stylesheet to hide those tags, e.g invisible.

Long term, I think we might want to add the ability to disable the togglebutton that hide-cell creates.

So this has to do with Bokeh's output_notebook() function. Bokeh plots do not render if the remove-cell tag is used in the cell output_notbook() is called. I updated my example on git with a third chapter to see the difference. I am not sure if this is a bug on Jupyter-Book or Bokeh, I will leave this open and let others decide to close it.

[agoose77]

Yes. I thought I'd written that above, but for some reason I must have deleted it.

Technically this is either a bug or a missing feature in MyST-NB (see executablebooks/MyST-NB#418 for related issue).

I decided to close this after looking @agoose77 comments and related issues.
