Feature request: venue = "html"

[cwickham]

A few places I would like to post reprexes, most notably the LMS canvas, won't accept markdown, but will allow HTML input.

I propose an additional venue = "html" that would render using output: html_fragment. So, for example the code:

reprex({
  (y <- 1:4)
  mean(y)
}, venue = "html")

would place the following on the clipboard:

<pre class="r"><code>(y &lt;- 1:4)
#&gt; [1] 1 2 3 4
mean(y)
#&gt; [1] 2.5</code></pre>

This can be pasted into the "HTML Editor" in canvas:

Which canvas renders into something like:

I have an attempt implementing this which only involves an additional file to make_filenames() and an additional condition in reprex(). Would you accept a PR for this?

Any thoughts on any lurking gotchas with this venue?

I think this is a good idea. I've considered it before! We are generally making html anyway for preview purposes.
