omni_table() or OMNI html report template knitting issue

[OskaratOmni]

Hey @dgkeyes I just sent you a video describing an issue we have been having when knitting tables with the omni_table() function.

You can see here that it does something weird where the lower part of the code chunk, the ```, displays and it messes up the figure caption too. Any ideas?

[dgkeyes]

Posting the video here for reference: https://muse.ai/e/4m6kV17

@OskaratOmni could you send me the code used to create this error? Or, better yet, could you create a simple, reproducible example that I can run to recreate this?

[OskaratOmni]

Hey @dgkeyes , you bet. I did find that using option = 'gt' made the issue go away.

Github doesn't allow attaching rmd files but here's the code:

---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}

                      echo=FALSE, # change to TRUE if most code chunks should knit to report 
                      warning=FALSE, 
                      message=FALSE)

library(tidyverse)
library(omni)
library(flextable)

mtcars %>% 
  slice(1:5) %>% 
  omni_table(caption = "Caption", option = "gt") 

Second table

mtcars %>% 
  slice(1:5) %>% 
  omni_table(caption = "Caption")

[OskaratOmni]

On my end the first table looks fine and the second has the weird table caption and stuff, like in the video.

[dgkeyes]

Weird. This looks totally fine on my end.

I assume you've updated the omni package to the latest version?

Can you also run `sessionInfo()' in the console and paste in what you get? Here's what I get, for example:

Hey @dgkeyes Sorry for slow response. We are in peak reporting and I was out of office for a few days on top of that.

I just did a bunch of updating hoping it would resolve the issue but I'm still getting it on my end.

Would you try to install the dev version of flextable with devtools::install_github("davidgohel/flextable") (according to https://github.com/davidgohel/flextable/issues/621 this is supposed to work, even if on my side this doesn't).

If you remove the caption this works, it's a matter of knitr blocks that changed

[OskaratOmni]

Thanks @tvroylandt , I tried this and verified that the dev version installed. It didn't work on my end either. We still get the `{=html}` characters in both pdf and html with flextable.

@tvroylandt are you getting these too? @dgkeyes does not get them but we weren't able to identify a difference in our setups that could be behind the difference in behavior.

[tvroylandt]

I have them too bur wasn't able yet to solve that
