CellEvaluationFunction

CellEvaluationFunction
is an option to Cell which gives a function to be applied to every expression from the cell that is sent to the kernel for ordinary evaluation.

MORE INFORMATION

CellEvaluationFunction is used for all ordinary kernel evaluations, as initiated for example by Shift+Enter or by Evaluate in Place.

It is not used for evaluations associated with Dynamic objects.

In a StandardForm or TraditionalForm cell, CellEvaluationFunction is applied to the BoxData expression representing the input to be evaluated.

In an InputForm cell, it is applied to the string corresponding to the input to be evaluated.

With CellEvaluationFunction->f and $PreRead=g, the object processed by the kernel will be g[f[data]].

The default setting is CellEvaluationFunction->Identity.
