Embedding existing HTML in R markdown

Question

Simple question,
is there a function to embedded an existing HTML output, in this case a table output from the stargazer package in R into an R Markdown script?

If you'd like to render as HTML, you should be able to simply place the HTML in the document. If you'd like to generate the HTML output from R and display as HTML, change the knitr option result to =asis. – Saline

I have an HTML document that I generated with Stargazer. It's in a WD. I want my Markdown file to 'read' it and embedded it in the output. I can embedded the HTML fine, but I don't want it clogging up my rmd. – Jarrett

You might be able to use the iframe environment in your Rmd. <iframe src='path/to/your/file/html' ></iframe>. If not, this answer to this question may help. – Saline

@NickReid what did you end up doing? – Abbey

Horrible cluge, but this is what I did to get an html table into a xargian slide (based on another stack overflow answer). The line showed up in the slide unless I stripped it out.

```{r, echo = FALSE, results='asis'}
t <-readLines("your_html.html")
len <- length(t)-1
cat(t[2:len])
```
