Broken RMarkdown html TOC with leaflet::addMeasure and DT::datatable
Hi Tim,
I recently stumbled upon a strange error that I cannot really find a cause for. It is probably not even a problem with the mapview package but I hope that you might provide a hint how to work around this bug.
Under very specific conditions, the table of content of an RMarkdown html document is unfavorably altered.
When I add a leaflet::addMeasure() to a mapview()-map and call a DT::datatable() afterwards, the floating table of contents in an RMarkdown-Document has two additional entries "Measure distances and areas" while the following subchapter disappears from the TOC.
Here a reproducible example that produces the unwanted behaviour both under R 3.6.1 on a Windows machine and R 4.0.2 on a Mac. Note, that I had to "escape" the code chunk closing tripple-GraveAccent lines ("!```") to provide a RMarkdown codeblock here:
---
title: "ReprEx: mapview, addMeasure, datatable"
output:
html_document:
toc: yes
toc_float:
collapsed: no
---
# Chapter 1
```{r}
library(mapview)
library(leaflet)
library(DT)
addMeasure(mapview(breweries)@map)
!```
```{r, eval = TRUE}
datatable(data.frame(a = 1))
!```
## subchapter that disappears in TOC
## visible subchapter

Feel free to close this if the problem is unrelated to mapview. Thanks for the amazing package!

That seems like some CSS problem. Does this only happen when the map is created with mapview? Or does it also happen with a native leaflet map?
Hey, thanks for the super quick response!
This also happens with leaflet:

Sorry, I could have thought of trying that myself.
So I guess I should file this issue somewhere else? leaflet or rather rmarkdown? I don't have the slightest understanding of CSS, unfortunately.
Yes, that means it's not a mapview issue. I don't know where this originates so can only guess. Seems specific to the addMeasure plugin, so maybe leaflet is a good place to start. In any case they're hey're both RStudio packages...
