Description

This function saves an object of class tinytable to a specified file and format, with an option to overwrite existing files.

Usage

save_tt(x, output, overwrite = FALSE)

Value

A string with the table when output is a format, and the file path when output is a valid path.

Arguments

x

The tinytable object to be saved.

output

String or file path.

• If output is "markdown", "latex", "html", "html_portable", or "typst", the table is returned in a string as an R object.

• If output is a valid file path, the table is saved to file. The supported extensions are: .docx, .html, .png, .pdf, .tex, .typ, and .md (with aliases .txt, .Rmd and .qmd).

• If output is "html_portable" or the global option tinytable_html_portable is TRUE, the images are included in the HTML as base64 encoded string instead of link to a local file.
