[
always returns a huxtable, while $
and [[
return the underlying data.
For the replacement function [<-
, if value
is a huxtable, then its cell properties will be
copied into x
. In addition, if value
fills up an entire column, then column properties
will be copied into the replaced columns of x
, and if it fills up an entire row, then
row properties will be copied into the replaced rows of x
.
Replacement functions $<-
and [[<-
change the data without affecting any properties.
