RStudio notebook - print.htmlTable fails to detect that it should return an asis_output

[gforge]

The new RStudio notebook allows inline tables but this requires that the function returns knitr::asis_output instead of using the viewer. Unfortunately it currently ignores interactive use of knit_print and it doesn't have any obvious ways for detecting when running within a notebook.

This works for me. Based on htmltools::HTML

a <- htmlTable::htmlTable(iris)
attr(a, "html") <- TRUE
class(a) <- c("html", "htmlTable", "character")
a

Thanks! Fixed. Working on the CRAN submission
