How to preserve plain html

[harrelfe]

I have a lot of R functions that create plain html output. When a function produces a table, the plain html it uses has very little wasted vertical space, but when rendering with Quarto I get the standard format with striped rows, etc. Is there a way to tell Quarto that a section of included html is to be kept as-is?

Specifically, use <table data-quarto-disable-processing="true">...</table>

Thanks a bunch. Is there something comparable for non-table elements? E.g. with Quarto in action I get taller vertical spaces between tables and other text.

Have you confirmed if the HTML is being changed from what you have to the resulting file? I assume the changes you see are coming from our CSS and not from quarto not preserving the HTML itself. (In which case, the fix needs to be through HTML itself as well.) If not, can you post a full example of the problem you're seeing? Thanks.

FYI, for gt tables (as of v0.9.0), new options to gt::tab_options() allow to disable Quarto processing easily.
See https://gt.rstudio.com/reference/tab_options.html.

Sorry for the late reply. The disable-processing directive did just what I need, and the new gt option is also much appreciated.
