kable_styling: HTML table attributes

Description

This function provides a cleaner approach to modify the style of HTML tables other than using the table.attr option in knitr::kable(). Currenly, it assumes the HTML document has boot

Usage

kable_styling(kable_input, bootstrap_options = "basic",
  latex_options = "basic", full_width = NULL, position = "center",
  font_size = NULL, ...)

Arguments

kable_input

Output of knitr::kable() with format specified

bootstrap_options

A character vector for bootstrap table options. Please see package vignette or visit the w3schools' Bootstrap Page for more information. Possible options include basic, striped, bordered, hover, condensed and responsive.

latex_options

A character vector for LaTeX table options. Please see package vignette for more information. Possible options include basic, striped, hold_position, scale_down & repeat_header. striped will add alternative row colors to the table. It will imports LaTeX package xcolor if enabled. hold_position will "hold" the floating table to the exact position. It is useful when the LaTeX table is contained in a table environment after you specified captions in kable(). It will force the table to stay in the position where it was created in the document. scale_down is useful for super wide table. It will automatically adjust the table to page width. repeat_header in only meaningful in a longtable environment. It will let the header row repeat on every page in that long table.

full_width

A TRUE or FALSE variable controlling whether the HTML table should have 100% width. Since HTML and pdf have different flavors on the preferable format for full_width. If not specified, a HTML table will have full width by default but this option will be set to FALSE for a LaTeX table

position

A character string determining how to position the table on a page. Possible values include left, center, right, float_left and float_right. Please see the package doc site for demonstrations. For a LaTeX table, if float_* is selected, LaTeX package wrapfig will be imported.

font_size

A numeric input for table font size
