merge_repeated_rows: Merge repeated rows into multirow cells

merge_repeated_rows() looks within each column for contiguous groups of identical cells. These are merged by setting rowspan(). Doing this helps remove redundant information from the table.

Usage

merge_repeated_rows(ht, row, col)

Arguments

ht

A huxtable.

row

A row specifier. See rowspecs for details.

col

An optional column specifier.

Value

The ht object.

Details

If row contains gaps, results may be unexpected (and a warning is given).
