Rendering flextable in Jupyter Notebook

[mbhatley]

Hello. I was wondering how to display a flextable in a Jupyter Notebook.

Creating the table works correctly, and the code renders properly in R Markdown.

baseball <- flextable(baseball_df[1:10,])
baseball

However, in Jupyter Notebooks, the code above produces the result:

a flextable object.
col_keys: `playerID`, `birth.Year`, `birth.Month`, `birth.Day`, `birth.Country`, `birth.State`, `birth.City`, `name.First`, `name.Last`, `name.Given`, `player.weight`, `player.height`, `player.bats`, `player.throws` 
header has 1 row(s) 
body has 10 row(s) 
original dataset sample: 
   playerID birth.Year birth.Month birth.Day birth.Country birth.State

Thanks in advance.

It requires some work. It works partially (no dom-shadow for now)

library(flextable)
library(officer)
z <- as_flextable(iris) 
IRdisplay::display_html(to_html(z))
