How to properly embed cells from Jupyter notebook with R kernel?

[lisa-wm]

Description

I'm trying to build an html document that has tabsets for R and Python code. Both code snippets are to be embedded from (two different) Jupyter notebooks (with R and Python kernels resp.). However, embedding from the R ipynb causes quarto code to be displayed in a weird manner (see screenshot), and also breaks the tabset layout. How can I avoid this? Thank you! 🙏🏻 (PS: there is quite some nesting of conditional output and HTML options going on.)

---
title: "foo"
subtitle: "bar"

::: {.content-hidden when-format="pdf"}
::: {.hidden}
{{< include baz.qmd >}}

## Exercise 1

(@) Do this
  
::: {.content-visible when-profile="solution"}
<details> 
<summary>**Solution**</summary>

::: {.panel-tabset}
### R
{{< embed _r.ipynb#hro echo=true >}}

### Python
{{< embed _python.ipynb#hro echo=true >}}

Notebook metadata for notebook with Python kernel:

"metadata": {
  "kernelspec": {
   "display_name": "Python 3",
   "language": "python",
   "name": "python3"
  },
  "language_info": {
   "codemirror_mode": {
    "name": "ipython",
    "version": 2
   },
   "file_extension": ".py",
   "mimetype": "text/x-python",
   "name": "python",
   "nbconvert_exporter": "python",
   "pygments_lexer": "ipython2",
   "version": "2.7.6"

Notebook metadata for notebook with R kernel:

"metadata": {
    "kernelspec": {
      "display_name": "R",
      "name": "ir"

Other quarto options used (in _quarto.yml):

theme:
  light: [flatly, _quarto/theme.scss]
  dark: [darkly, _quarto/theme.scss]
format: 
  html:
    toc: true
    code-fold: false
    mathspec: true
    latex_engine: pdflatex
jupyter: python3
notebook-links: global

theme.scss merely defines

/*-- scss:defaults --*/
$link-color: #6495ed;

Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? Thanks.

You can share a Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).

````qmd
---
title: "Reproducible Quarto Document"
format: html
---

This is a reproducible Quarto document using `format: html`.
It is written in Markdown and contains embedded R code.
When you run the code, it will produce a plot.

```{r}
plot(cars)
```

The end.

So sorry for bothering you, in creating the MWE the issue disappeared - the notebook that produced the error must have been corrupted somehow. Problem solved, apparently 🙌🏻

No worries.
That is usually the case. Creating a small reproducible example is kind of the first step to debug something.
