I tested using Yihui's bookdown example for HTML widgets
```{r DT-demo, fig.cap='A table widget rendered via the DT package.', dev='png', cache=TRUE, cache.extra=packageVersion('DT'), screenshot.opts=list(zoom=2)}
DT::datatable(iris)
```
and it renders in my bookdown gitbook output locally. But when published to GitHub Pages all I see is the "figure" caption and the table is not showing. Does anyone know what may be happening?
