Explicitly Disabling Notebook Execution for one cell

[joamatab]

How can nbsphinx ignore one specific cell?

ideally we would add something like

NBSPHINX SKIP
print('this code should never run')

gdsfactory/gdsfactory#335

nbsphinx uses nbconvert for executing notebooks (which in turn uses nbclient).

Is it possible to ignore one cell in nbconvert?

If yes, I can try to enable that in nbsphinx.

Alternatively, you can try https://github.com/executablebooks/MyST-NB, maybe it is possible with that?
