What should I do when rstudio says this during knitting to word file?
Error: Functions that produce HTML output found in document targeting docx output.
Please change the output type of this document to HTML. Alternatively, you can allow
HTML output in non-HTML formats by adding this option to the YAML front-matter of
your rmarkdown file:
always_allow_html: true
Note however that the HTML output will not be visible in non-HTML formats
Hi,
That comment means you're trying to knit an RMarkdown or Quarto file to docx (Word), but it contains interactive HTML elements. Does your file have something like a plotly graph, leaflet map or DT/reactable table?
If you add what it suggests to your YAML header, i.e.,
---
title: My Cool Report
always_allow_html: true
---
It should render okay. Note that the interactive elements may be absent entirely, though.
Commonly, I use an if/else statement with knitr::is_html_output() so that if my output is HTML it'll show, e.g., a leaflet map, but if it is a pdf/word it'll put in a static ggmap.
