The add_title() function does not work in shiny.

Thank you for this wonderful package. When using the add_title() function in shiny, no title is displayed. see:

library(shiny)
library(reactable)
library(reactablefmtr)

ui <- fluidPage(
  reactableOutput(outputId = "table")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  output$table <- renderReactable({
    reactable(data = mtcars) |>
      add_title(title = "Motor Trend Car Table")
  })
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

Using the function without shiny:

reactable(data = mtcars) |>
  add_title(title = "Motor Trend Car Table")

Hi, thanks for using reactablefmtr. Unfortunately, the title, subtitle, and source aren't compatible with Shiny because their properties get masked by the Shiny HTML. I'll be sure to add this to the documentation so that users know ahead of time.

A work-around I'd recommend is adding the title above the table within the ui section of the Shiny app like below:

library(shiny)
library(reactable)
library(reactablefmtr)

ui <- fluidPage(
  h2("Motor Trend Car Table"), # add title above table
  reactableOutput(outputId = "table")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  
  output$table <- renderReactable({
    reactable(data = mtcars)
  })
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
