Displaying plots alongside each other in Pluto

General Usage

I have made plots in VegaLite. I want to display the plots alongside each other in a pluto notebook. The standard way to do this would be to combine the plots as below
Plots.plot(plot1, plot2, layout = (2,1))
but that does not work with VegaLite (the error is “Cannot convert VegaLite.VLSpec to series data for plotting”)

Anyone got any ideas? Is there a way to arrange Pluto cells alongside each other?

The code that illustrates the problem is below (TOML contents redacted for brevity):

	p = dd |> VegaLite.@vlplot(
        title = "chart $lab",
        :line,
        x={field="x"},
        y={field="y"}
    )
	return p

Can you put two plots into a table environment?

Have you tried using + to combine multiple @vlplots together?

Should work with simple markdown:
md"$plot1 $plot2"

Sorry for slow response, got tied up in Christmas.
Thanks for these suggestions. I managed to get the table working as well as markout and making a vector of plots.
The addition of the two plots did not work for me (it just displays the first of the two in that case)
