I am trying to render a static DT to word.
I have this stripped down version of a file example.Rmd and I am using knitr version 1.30 and the latest stable versions of all relevant packages. Per https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/html-widgets.html the datatable should render but I am not getting the static DT back just the echo=TRUE part.
Please help me if you can - I am hopelessly stuck and I cannot just use another table.
title: 'Main title'
subtitle: 'Subtitle here'
always_allow_html: yes
# params:these will come from SHINY APP
# x1: x1
# x2: x2
# x3 :x3
output:
word_document
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(out.width = '100%', dpi=300)
```
```{r, fig.align='center', echo=TRUE, cache=FALSE, warning = TRUE, message = TRUE, tidy=TRUE}
library(DT)
library(webshot)
if(is.null(webshot:::find_phantom())){webshot::install_phantomjs()}
DT::renderDataTable(iris)
```
The solution to this problem is to replace renderDataTable with datatable which allows webshot to kick in.
