Create an output-independent, formatted kable table — create_knitr

Wrapper around knitr::kable() with sensible defaults for alignment, borders, and formatting, compatible with HTML and LaTeX output formats.

Usage

create_knitr_table(
  data_table,
  digits = NULL,
  caption = NA,
  col.names = NULL,
  col_width = NULL,
  width_unit = "cm",
  col_align = NULL,
  border_right_cols = NULL,
  bold_cols = NULL,
  bootstrap_options = c("striped", "hover", "condensed"),
  latex_options = NULL,
  output_format = NULL,
  keep_pdf = FALSE,
  latex_header_includes = c("\\usepackage[magyar]{babel}",
    "\\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}")
)

Arguments

data_table: A data.frame, tibble, named matrix, or knitr_kable object.
digits: Number of digits to display for numeric variables. Defaults to getOption("digits").
caption: Optional table caption. Defaults to NA (no caption).
col.names: Column names for the table. If NULL, uses names(data_table).
col_width: Numeric vector of column widths. If NULL, defaults to 2 for the first column and equal share for the rest.
width_unit: Character. Unit for column widths (default "cm").
col_align: Column alignment. Defaults to "l" for the first column, "c" for others.
border_right_cols: Logical vector for right-hand column borders. Defaults to TRUE for the first column, FALSE otherwise.
bold_cols: Logical vector. If TRUE, makes the column bold. Defaults to all FALSE.
bootstrap_options: Passed to kableExtra::kable_styling() for HTML output. Defaults to c("striped", "hover", "condensed").
latex_options: Passed to kableExtra::kable_styling() for LaTeX output. Defaults to c("scale_down", "striped").
output_format: Character: "html", "latex", or "image". If NULL, auto-detects from knitr options.
keep_pdf: Logical. Only relevant for output_format = "image". Defaults to FALSE.
latex_header_includes: Character vector of LaTeX headers to include. Defaults to c("\\usepackage[magyar]{babel}", "\\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}").

Value

A knitr_kable object with styling applied.
