Quarto does not render with some {gt} table IDs

[AlbertRapp]

Bug description

I'm not sure whether that's a {gt} or a Quarto problem. Since the {gt} code itself runs, I put it here.

Using IDs in {gt} tables causes issues with rendering a Quarto document. I don't know what the error means so I'll just put it here.

Error running filter /opt/quarto/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:
/opt/quarto/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:2555: attempt to concatenate a nil value (local 'v')
stack traceback:
	/opt/quarto/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:2562: in function </opt/quarto/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:2560>

The code that caused this error was (that's also the whole file)

ggplot2::mpg |> 
  gt::gt(id = 'myTbl')

Version info

RStudio: 2022.07.2 Build 576
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS

I can reproduce with

```{r}
library(ggplot2)
library(gt)

ggplot2::mpg |> 
  gt::gt(id = 'myTbl')
```

This is the same bug as #2370. We've fixed it in v1.3, but we're being very conservative about v1.2 changes right now to minimize regressions ahead of an upcoming release. The fix should be available in installers in about a week.

Oh sorry that I missed the duplicate. I checked before but I guess I just didn't realize it's the same.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly (and of course for fixing it).

One more question: Will v1.3 also help with styling of {gt} tables? I have a hard time getting tables to look like I want in Quarto docs because the Quarto theme overwrites a lot. I've just posted a question about this on the rstudio/gt#1113.

[cscheid]

It's a combination of quarto v1.3 changes and gt changes. @rich-iannone and I meet weekly and we're designing fixes for this which we do hope to land by the time v1.3 becomes stable.

[AlbertRapp]

Awesome. I look forward to v1.3 now.
