wordcloud and htmlwidgets::saveWidget about wordcloud2

[Lchiffon]

I've found this problem, try this:

htmlwidgets::saveWidget(widget = xx, file = "test.html", selfcontained = FALSE)

Looking forward to opening a issue in htmlWidges ...

Yes, if using selfcontained = FALSE I have what's expected.

Hi,

Is that a wontfix? We wanted self-contained files because that was the only format supported on a portal (MS sharepoint).

Try this function:

simpleFix = function(inputFile, outputFile){
  a = readLines(inputFile)
  output = paste(a, collapse = "\n")
  output = gsub(">\n\n</div>","></div>",output)
  writeLines(output, outputFile)
  invisible(NULL)
}


library(wordcloud2) 
library(htmlwidgets)

m <- wordcloud2::wordcloud2(wordcloud2::demoFreq)
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(m, file = "wordcloud2.html", selfcontained = TRUE)
simpleFix("wordcloud2.html", "wordcloud2.html")

pandoc leave some strange output for self-contained html.
