Unable to display table in html_notebook

[JasonAizkalns]

When using output: html_notebook in an .Rmd file, I am unable to display the output of a gt() object. It only renders in the preview pane/viewer within RStudio. For example:

---
title: "R Notebook"
output: html_notebook
---

```{r echo=FALSE}
library(gt)
mtcars %>% gt()
```

Will not render anything.

However, a plain-vanilla html_document does just fine as the following works as expected:

---
title: "R Notebook"
output:
  html_document:
    df_print: paged
---

```{r echo=FALSE}
library(gt)
mtcars %>% gt()
```

I am not sure if this is an issue with rmarkdown or there is something missing in gt? Note: I have tried setting options such as results='asis' and/or appending %>% as_raw_html() without success.

Thanks for reporting this! I admit that html_notebook has been a blind spot (as it wasn't yet tested). We'll have a closer look at this bug soon.

I am using gt in an RNotebook and not experiencing this issue.

The table has no margin between it and the markdown text which follows it, but that is a separate issue which I'm searching for at the moment.

@MokeEire — it's not a great solution but you can add <br> after your gt.

@nriley thank you, that's exactly what I've been doing in the meantime.

As there's no way to detect the RNotebook environment (and a workaround exists) I am going to close this issue.
