[quarto] tables with `fmt_markdown` don't render in quarto dashboard
Prework
- [x] Read and agree to the code of conduct and contributing guidelines.
- [x] If there is already a relevant issue, whether open or closed, comment on the existing thread instead of posting a new issue.
Description
I have a quarto dashboard, converted from an html file, in which some but not all gt tables fail to render. I was able to isolate the behavior only to those tables using fmt_markdown. In all my exmaples, the markdown string includes a <br/>. I'm not sure if this extends to other contents.
Reproducible example
- [x] Post a minimal reproducible example so the maintainer can troubleshoot the problems you identify. A reproducible example is:
- [x] Runnable: post enough R code and data so any onlooker can create the error on their own computer.
- [x] Minimal: reduce runtime wherever possible and remove complicated details that are irrelevant to the issue at hand.
- [x] Readable: format your code according to the tidyverse style guide.

# with markdown
## row
```{r}
#| title: with markdown
library(gt)
library(dplyr)
library(glue)
h <- head(sp500, n = 3) |>
mutate(test = glue::glue('{LETTERS[row_number()]}<br/>test')) |>
gt() |>
fmt_markdown(columns = c(test))
h
```
# session
```{r}
sessioninfo::session_info()
```
Expected result
I expected the table to render within the card. Instead, the rendered document is blank.

I would like to note that using md() for changing cols_label() yields the same behavior, and that it works as expected with gt 0.10.0.

## Heading
```{r}
#| title: a title0
library(gt)

gt::gt() |>
cols_label(
num = md("**here**")
)
```
I tested that the example provided by OP doesn't work in gt 0.11 + Quarto 1.4.554 (have to check for 1.4.555 + 1.5)
I can confirm this is a Quarto issue.
Though @rich-iannone using <span data-qmd instead of <div data-qmd avoid the issue.
Maybe not using div always could be a good idea. Also content is duplicated like this
<div data-qmd="**here**"><div class='gt_from_md'><p><strong>here</strong></p>
</div></div>
and this will create two entry in the table. But maybe this is a Quarto issue, as the content of the div should probably be ignored when processed 🤔
i'll look into it
@jburos Now that Quarto 1.5 is released, it is recommended to update to this version.
Your example renders correctly with Quarto 1.5

Yes I believe we fixed it on Quarto side. @rich-iannone I think this is ok now, also following our last discussion
