Function to preview a chunk of html in the RStudio viewer pane
Question
I'd like to preview/render a generated piece of html in the rstudio viewer pane, without having to knit the entire rmarkdown document
For example:
preview_html(mtcars %>% kable(format = "html"))
generates a block of HTML. I'd like it to be rendered in the preview pane.

The following function writes a temporary html file with just the code chunk, and opens it in the viewer:
preview_html <- function(code){
tempDir <- tempfile()
dir.create(tempDir)
htmlFile <- file.path(tempDir, "index.html")
writeLines(paste0('<html><body>',
code,
'</body></html>'), htmlFile)
viewer <- getOption("viewer")
viewer(htmlFile)
}
preview_html(mtcars %>% kable(format = "html")) # Opens in viewer pane
