Don't render/show a dataframe index?

[astrowonk]

Using pandas/python as my language, if a code block returns a dataframe, the dataframe renders fairly nicely but with the index in bold. My indices are usually just sequential or sometimes random (thanks to sorting) numbers.

I guess as a workaround I could set the index to one of my columns (though then it'd become bold text), but is there a way to have quarto just not render the index at all?

So, I tried to get around this by just setting index to one of the columns, but now the headers look like this:

which was unexpected. (This is using python, it is a pandas dataframe where I just set the index so it only has one column)

The best workaround for now this this:

from IPython.display import display, HTML
display(HTML(df.to_html(index=False)))

and a simple wrapper function makes this easier
def format_df(df):
    """format the dataframe for display without index"""
    return display(HTML(df.to_html(index=False)))
