Is there a way to compile interactive tables into an HTML book in Julia?

Tooling
16

I am infuriatingly close. I am using RCall to generate a beautiful table in a standalone HTML file:

using RDatasets
using RCall

x = dataset("datasets", "mtcars");

@rput x;

R"

library(DT)

htmlwidgets::saveWidget(x %>% DT::datatable(.), 'result.html')

"

Thus, a more refined version of my question is “In ipynb, does anyone know how I can get a markdown cell or a Julia cell to display this HTML file?”

WebIO is out, I get the same thing from before in the books, I just recreate it myself:

using WebIO

htmlString = read("result.html", String)

Scope(dom=node(:p, htmlString))

Looks like I should ask the WebIO folks about this.

At least now I can take the partial victory of knowing I can likely get this to work by switching back to Rmd where I’d have cells-by-language or switch to Python where I’d have magics instead of calls from a library.

I might not be able to escape to Julia but I do now know I can at least escape to Python lol.
