I'm trying to render citations in an #Rmarkdown #QuartoPub document, and get an interactive HTML table that I can sort by date.

E.g., I have a dataframe, and one of the columns has [@citation] text entries

Knitr::kable() renders the citations, and they show up in the reference list, but doesn't do interactive tables?

Neither reactable::reactable() or DT::datatable() render the citations. Still searching #rstats, if anyone knows how to make this happen lemme know

I think I'm missing notifications on replies right now. Thanks for the ones I saw so far

I ended up going with kable, and made notes of my struggles here:

@MattCrumpLab Could you output from kable to html, read the html into a data frame (e.g. rvest::html_table) and then pass that data frame to DT? I haven't tried this so this very likely wouldn't work!

@jhollist interesting idea, will try that

@MattCrumpLab could you manually add datatables to the html? https://www.datatables.net/

@MattCrumpLab Just to clarify, the citation is just an HTML <a> link tag, right?
