kable: Create tables in LaTeX, HTML, Markdown and reStructuredText

Description

This is a very simple table generator. It is simple by design. It is not intended to replace any other R packages for making tables. This is a trimmed down version of the original kable function in knitr package. Please refer to knitr's kable function for details.

Usage

kable(x, format, digits = getOption("digits"), row.names = NA,
  col.names = colnames(x), align, caption = NULL, escape = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x
an R object (typically a matrix or data frame)
format
a character string; possible values are latex, html, markdown, pandoc, and rst; this will be automatically determined if the function is called within knitr; it can also be set in
digits
the maximum number of digits for numeric columns (passed to round()); it can also be a vector of length ncol(x) to set the number of digits for individual columns
row.names
a logical value indicating whether to include row names; by default, row names are included if rownames(x) is neither NULL nor identical to 1:nrow(x)
col.names
a character vector of column names to be used in the table
align
the alignment of columns: a character vector consisting of 'l' (left), 'c' (center) and/or 'r' (right); by default, numeric columns are right-aligned, and other columns are left-aligned; if align = NULL,
caption
the table caption
escape
escape special characters when producing HTML or LaTeX tables
