TipObjective

Every time I build a new report I want to put something in programatically-generated tabs. Every time, I have to dig old code somewhere because I don’t remember how I did it last time. With the move the quarto (I’m 2 years late), I decided to try and save it all in the same spot.

Here is my guide on how to add the following type of outputs inside tabsets in quarto:
* knitr::kable()
* gt::gt()
* datatable::DT()
* ggplot2
* plotly::ggplotly()
* leaflet::leaflet()
* mapview::mapview()

kable

kable needs to be wrapped inside print().

datatable

datatable needs to be wrapped inside print(tagList()) AND having initialized the datatable library before (really!).
See the answer by Stefan here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74707808/programatically-generate-tabset-panels-of-datatables-in-quarto

ggplot

gplot needs to be wrapped inside print().

plotly

plotly needs to be wrapped inside print(tagList()) AND be initialized by running plot_ly() before hand, similar to datatable:

leaflet

mapview

mapview needs to be wrapped inside print(tagList()) AND be initialized by running plot_ly() before hand, similar to datatable. You also need to extract the @map from the mapview object before printing it.

all in one

you cal absolutely put everything together ..
