Code Chunk in Aside about tufte HOT 11 OPEN

I'm not sure whether it would be a related feature or a distinct one, but being able to include htmlwidgets as a margin content would be awesome. At the moment it's a bit frustrating that you're able to include static figures in margin but not dynamic ones. (I'm only thinking about HTML output, obvisouly).

I want to pitch in and say I am trying to hack a way to do this and
would love to have a cleaner solution that my current one.
Thanks Yihui.

Sorry for the late response. You are the second one who requested this feature, so I'll consider it. It should be relatively easy to implement for LaTeX output, but might be a little tricky for HTML output, since I don't use the <aside> tag.

If I was a better developer I would have forked and given it a go myself, but I'm not and I think this feature would be really beneficial. Thanks yihui!

@spholmes Sure I'll think about it. You were the first one who requested this feature :)

First of all, thank all those who have created and expanded R markdown, and especially Yihui. We have much to thank to you.
In my case, I was seeking to include code chunks in aside, in order to write a book about graphics in R. For me, Tufte's style is an example of how legibility and spatial equilibrium can be accompanied by visual beauty. Although it may seem outdated, I think that beauty is a psychological added value to any reading; a small pleasure in itself.
I'm not a programmer, so I can help to use and test any improvement in this (or any other) way.
Thank you all, again.

+1 here, would be helpful to be able to add inline code in margin text. Especially for parameterized reporting this would be an excellent feature.

Example usage case:

A standardized report that has customized margin text by parameter.

+1 for inline code in the margin for html output.
