Lost the standard Inline output on rmarkdown

Somebody else is also having this problem:

Kable() results not displaying inline

I have several R Markdown pages that are suddenly displaying the HTML code rather than the resulting table in my rmd page. They were working fine yesterday. Earlier this week I upgraded R to the latest version. And today my company ran a major Windows upgrade. It showed up after the Windows upgrade. All of the problematic code chunks look something like this: arrest_rate %>% select(ArrestRate) %>% kable("html") %>% kable_styling() The nice-looking tables show up in the viewer in RStudio, but not inline with the code like they used to.

Are you on Windows, too?

I suggested a possibly related topic over in that thread, but I don't know for sure if the issues are the same.

Anyway, as far as what to google, I believe the problem is that the auto-rendering RStudio IDE usually does for some types of R Notebook chunk output isn't happening, so you're getting the plain old console output instead. (And note that the IDE now treats all R Markdown documents as Notebooks unless you tell it not to). You might consider moving this post to the RStudio IDE category, to see if it gets more attention there.
