Open HTML table and R help in right tab (using R)

[pehkawn]

I've noticed that when I try run a function that will generate a html table (e.g. sjPlot::view_df() ) , in the Jupyter extension, the table will open in my browser. Also, if I try access R Help, Jupyter will generate an erroneous ouput inside the notebook.

Instad, I was wondering if it is possible to configure Jupyter so that HTML tables and R Help in a separate tab on the right hand side in VS Code?

Can you give repro steps? I'm not sure exactly what's happening when you generate the table.

Ok, here's two examples:

Generating a HTML table using sjPlot::view_df():

df <- data.frame(
    A = structure(ordered(1:3, labels = letters[1:3]), label = "variable A"),
    B = structure(ordered(4:6, labels = letters[4:6]), label = "variable B")
)

sjPlot::view_df(df)

Output opens in my browser:

As you can see, the generated table opens in my browser. I'd rather it opened in a right side tab in VS Code.

Calling R Help from Jupyter Notebook:

?sjPlot::view_df()

Output below cell in Jupyter notebook:

As you can see, the formatting is all screwed up.

Desired output:

When calling R Help from R terminal,

r$> sjPlot::view_df()

R Help now opens in a right side tab:
