Answer 1

This seems to be a persistent problem with RMarkdown. Here is the work around however, found here:

lotlist = list()

for (VAR in factor_vars) {
    p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes_string(x = "mpg", y = "wt", color = VAR)) + geom_point()
    plotlist[[VAR]] = ggplotly(p)
}
htmltools::tagList(setNames(plotlist, NULL))
