This function provides a cleaner approach to modify the style
of HTML tables other than using the table.attr option in knitr::kable(). Note
that those bootstrap options requires Twitter bootstrap theme, which is not avaiable
in some customized template being loaded.
kable_styling(kable_input, bootstrap_options = "basic",
latex_options = "basic", full_width = NULL, position = "center",
font_size = NULL, row_label_position = "l", ...)Output of knitr::kable() with format specified
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.
A character vector for LaTeX table options. Please see
package vignette for more information. Possible options include
basic, striped, hold_position, 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.
A stronger version: HOLD_position requires the float package and specifies [H].
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.
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
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.
A numeric input for table font size
A character string determining the justification of the row
labels in a table. Possible values inclued l for left, c for center, and r for
right. The default value is l for left justifcation.
extra options for HTML or LaTeX. See details.
For LaTeX, extra options includes:
repeat_header_method can either be append(default) or replace
repeat_header_text is just a text string you want to append on or
replace the caption.
stripe_color allows users to pick a different color for their strip lines.
latex_table_env character string to define customized table environment
such as tabu or tabularx.You shouldn't expect all features could be
supported in self-defined environments.
