Thebe clashes with hide-cell tag in Jupyter-book #26
Description
Describe the bug
Thebe prevents cells with hide-cell tag from opening in Jupyter-book. "Click to show" does nothing. This is because the ID of the div is overwritten by shpinx-thebe, and the "click to show" button uses the original ID to toggle visibility.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Define a code cell for Jupyter-book:
```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [hide-cell]
(1 + 5**0.5)/2
```
- Launch Thebe inside Jupyter-book
- "Click to show" does not show hidden cell.
Expected behavior
"Click to show" should show the hidden cell.
Environment
- Python Version: 3.8.5
- Package versions or output of
jupyter-book --version: 0.11.1 - Operating System: Ubuntu
Additional context
The following line of code change the id of an hidden cell, preventing to toggle its hidden status:
sphinx-thebe/sphinx_thebe/_static/sphinx-thebe.js
Lines 62 to 65 in 53c098b
Why do we need to change this codeCell.id? Can we modify only the id of non-hidden cells?
I would happily try to submit a PR if needed :)
PS: in https://jupyterbook.org/interactive/thebe.html, an example is provided with a hide-input cell. This works because the corresponding HTML element has class cell-input and not class cell (like hide-cell tag), and thus its id is not modified.

@fortierq thanks for opening this one up - I think that your diagnosis is correct that we are overwriting and ID. I think that we could try:
If a cell already has an ID, then we don't assign it a new one. If we can confirm that the behavior still works the same way, then maybe we are fine to stop there.
Want to give that a shot?

Thanks @choldgraf! I'm afraid I'm too busy at the moment to work on this at the moment. Maybe later.
