Duplicated Div-Tags in Typst Output
Prework
- [x] Read and agree to the code of conduct and contributing guidelines.

Description
Disclaimer: Not sure if this is a Quarto or {gt} issue. Please tell me if this is not the appropriate place to raise this issue.
Inside of Markdown columns (formatted with fmt_markdown()), content inside of <div>-tags is duplicated inside Typst outputs. <span>-tags however are not affected by this. Also, the output width of the table changes when <div>-tags present.
Reproducible example
---
title: "Paris Metro Lines"
keep-typ: true
keep-md: true
format: typst
---
## Regular Formatting
```{r}
library(gt)
gt::metro[1:2, c('name', 'lines')] |>
transform(
lines = paste0('<span>', lines, '</span>')
) |>
gt()
```
## Expected Output (with Markdown formatting)
```{r}
library(gt)
gt::metro[1:2, c('name', 'lines')] |>
transform(
lines = paste0('<span>', lines, '</span>')
) |>
gt() |>
fmt_markdown(columns = lines)
```
## Actual Output
```{r}
library(gt)
gt::metro[1:2, c('name', 'lines')] |>
transform(
# Changed to div-tags here
lines = paste0('<div>', lines, '</div>')
) |>
gt() |>
fmt_markdown(columns = lines)
```

Generated Typst Code
For expected output:
table(
columns: 2,
align: (left, left),
table.header(
table.cell(align: bottom + left, fill: rgb("#ffffff"))[#set text(size: 1.0em, fill: rgb("#333333")); name],
table.cell(align: bottom + left, fill: rgb("#ffffff"))[#set text(size: 1.0em, fill: rgb("#333333")); lines],
),
table.hline(),
table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[Argentine],
table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[1],
table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[Bastille],
table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[1, 5, 8],
)
For actual output
#{set text(font: ("system-ui", "Segoe UI", "Roboto", "Helvetica", "Arial", "sans-serif", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji") , size: 12pt); table(
columns: (50%, 50%),
align: (left,left,),
table.header(table.cell(align: bottom + left, fill: rgb("#ffffff"))[#set text(size: 1.0em , fill: rgb("#333333")); name], table.cell(align: bottom + left, fill: rgb("#ffffff"))[#set text(size: 1.0em , fill: rgb("#333333")); lines],),
table.hline(),
table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[Argentine], table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[1
#block[
1
]],
table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[Bastille], table.cell(align: horizon + left, stroke: (top: (paint: rgb("#d3d3d3"), thickness: 0.75pt)))[1, 5, 8
#block[
1, 5, 8
]],
)}
In the last four lines you can clearly see that it has 1, 5, 8 and a #block[] of the same content.

A workaround is to use span-tags and set its display style-attribute to something like block. But in principle, I believe the content of div-tags should not be duplicated.
