UK <- map_data("world") %>% filter(region=="UK")

p <- ggplot() +
  geom_polygon(data = UK, aes(x=long, y = lat, group = group), fill="grey", alpha=0.3) +
  geom_point( data=data, aes(x=long, y=lat, alpha=pop)) +
  geom_text_repel( data=data %>% arrange(pop) %>% tail(10), aes(x=long, y=lat, label=name), size=5) +
  geom_point( data=data %>% arrange(pop) %>% tail(10), aes(x=long, y=lat), color="red", size=3) +

This is essentially a duplicate of #2018 and also the same as #2283 , #2185 and ... . As of the moment geom_text_repel is not supported by plotly and you should get a warning message

geom_GeomTextRepel() has yet to be implemented in plotly.

about that.

But you are right: Having a reference to the non-supported geom_text_repel in an example of the documentation is rather misleading.
