Remove '¶' character from R saveWidget output - html

Question

I'm generating a reactable object and saving it in a HTML widget with saveWidget function, my code is like this: (qmd document)
```{css, echo = FALSE}
.tag {
display: inline-block;
padding: 2px 12px;
border-radius: 15px;
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 12px;
overflow-y: scroll;
height:400px;
}
```
Generate and save table:
```{r}
library("reactable")
library("htmlwidgets")
reactable(data = data_table,
class = "tag",
filterable = TRUE,
rownames = FALSE,
selection = "multiple",
showPageSizeOptions = TRUE,
paginationType = "jump",
showSortable = TRUE,
highlight = TRUE,
resizable = TRUE,
rowStyle = list(cursor = "pointer"),
onClick = "select") %>%
saveWidget(.,
"table_name.html",
selfcontained = T,
libdir = "lib"
)
```
My problem is: when I open the output ("table_name.html") there's a string with "¶¶¶¶¶¶", I don't know how to remove it.
This is how it looks:

Judging from the link in the comments, this is fixed in the widget. However, if one should run into this in a different context, then on could also use a Lua filter.
local sep = pandoc.Inlines{pandoc.Space(), pandoc.Str '¶', pandoc.Space()}
function Inlines (inlines)
for i = #inlines - 2, 1, -1 do
if pandoc.Inlines{inlines[i], inlines[i+1], inlines[i+2]} == sep then
inlines:remove(i+2); inlines:remove(i+1); inlines:remove(i)
end
end
return inlines
end
Save the above to a file, say remove-pilcrow.lua, and use it with
---
output:
html_document:
pandoc_args: ['--lua-filter=remove-pilcrow.lua']
---
in R Markdown or
---
filters:
- remove-pilcrow.lua

in Quarto.
