Details

Note: you can't use flextable Word output within rmarkdown. Instead you have to write the Word file yourself. See officer::read_docx().

as_FlexTable is deprecated and calls as_flextable with a warning.

Properties are supported, with the following exceptions:

• Rotation of 0, 90 or 270 is supported.

• Non-numeric column widths and row heights are not supported.

• Table height, wrap, captions and table position are not supported.

• Border style "double" is not supported and becomes "solid".
