Run a multiple %command in the same cell

Hello, 

is there a way to run multiple %command in a same cell ? 

I heard that's not possible but would like a confirmation and maybe if it could be an idea for future updates.

Moreover, is there a way to mask the output of cells (especially markdown) when using %run. I would like to keep some documentation in the notebook executed with the %run command but not prompt it in the destination notebook. 

 

Thanks

No, we cannot have multiple %command in the same cell.

About your other question, could you try using dbutils.notebook.run(). This would also provide the possibility of providing optional parameters to the child notebook. More details are available here - https://docs.databricks.com/notebooks/notebook-workflows.html

just a slight correction but you can also pass parameters when using %run
