I would like to be able to generate a series of tables in r-quarto. They are small tables, nothing fancy and generally will have the structure below in (1). A title that is a separate line of text and a table, this will repeat 20 or 30 times. To accomplish this I want to generate the code/formatting on the fly from what I read in from a table. What I have tried does not work (see 2 below) - I assume because the divs are wrapped in ":::{divs}" and therefore treated as text. How do I get r/quarto to recognize the divs output from code as something to render?

```{r, echo=FALSE}

d<-"funtimes"
```


<!--This looks the way I want it-->

`r paste("1. ", d)`

::: {layout-ncol="2"}

Words

More Words

`r paste0(1:4,collapse="  \n")`

`r paste0(1:4,collapse="  \n")`

:::



<!--But, I want to be able to generate that in a code statement-->

`r paste("2. ", d, ":::{layout-ncol=2}", "Words", "More Words",":::", sep="  \n")`

    Generally, you will need two newlines (\n\n) at the end of each section, not just one. Commented May 22 at 17:27
  • The question you refer to does not deal with inclusion of divs in a paste or cat statement. Commented May 22 at 18:28
  • RE \n\n you are correct, my use of "` \n`" is what was causing the problem. Commented May 22 at 19:58
  • So it seems the question I pointed you to did indeed contain the solution. Look at the concepts, not the details. Commented May 22 at 21:09
