htmlOutput function

Create an HTML output element

Render a reactive output variable as HTML within an application page. The text will be included within an HTML div tag, and is presumed to contain HTML content which should not be escaped.

htmlOutput(
  outputId,
  inline = FALSE,
  container = if (inline) span else div,
  fill = FALSE,
  ...
)

uiOutput(
  outputId,
  inline = FALSE,
  container = if (inline) span else div,
  fill = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• outputId: output variable to read the value from
• inline: use an inline (span()) or block container (div()) for the output
• container: a function to generate an HTML element to contain the text
• fill: If TRUE, the result of container is treated as both a fill item and container (see htmltools::bindFillRole()), which means both the container as well as its immediate children (i.e., the result of renderUI()) are allowed to grow/shrink to fit a fill container with an opinionated height. Set fill = "item" or fill = "container" to treat container as just a fill item or a fill container.
• ...: Other arguments to pass to the container tag function. This is useful for providing additional classes for the tag.

Returns

An HTML output element that can be included in a panel

Details

uiOutput is intended to be used with renderUI on the server side. It is currently just an alias for htmlOutput.

Examples

htmlOutput("summary")

# Using a custom container and class
tags$ul(
  htmlOutput("summary", container = tags$li, class = "custom-li-output")
)
