Table output cannot be suppressed in Quarto when R code chunk present about great-tables HOT 3 CLOSED

Shoot, I wonder if this is a reticulate, or a quarto bug? It looks like a class with the IPython display hooks (e.g. _repr_html_()) gets displayed regardless of output

Here's the qmd I used to test:

```{r}
#| output: false
# R code chunk
1 + 1
```

```{python}
#| output: false
# This PYTHON output is suppressed
1 + 1
```

```{python}
#| output: false

class MyClass:
    def _repr_html_(self):
        return "<p>uh-oh</p>"

MyClass()
```

from great-tables.

I've opened an issue on quarto--thanks for such a helpful qmd reproducing the issue!

Just to complete the loop -- I don't think there's currently a simple option for suppressing objects with a _repr_html_() method, for the case where quarto punts to knitr (which is what it does when there are R and python code chunks).

However, one quick solution is to put a semi colon to suppress the output altogether:

```{python}

class MyClass:
    def _repr_html_(self):
        return "<p>uh-oh</p>"


MyClass();               # <---- NOTE THE SEMI COLON 
```

from great-tables.
