Live view of HTML table in RStudio

HTML tables generated through kableExtra now has its own class and will be previewed in the Viewer panel when it’s printed. I personally have wanted this feature for a long time. :)

footnote in replacement of add_footnote

Believe it or not, add_footnote is the first function I wrote for kableExtra and it was written about 1 year before the second function kable_styling was written. 😂 Some of the designs are sort of out-dated and restricted my ability to add new features to it. Therefore, I created this new footnote function in hope that it can replace add_footnote on most parts.

What you will gain: - Ability to use 4 notation systems (general, number, alphabet or symbol) at the same time. A lot of folks have asked me for this feature because of the APA style recommendation. It was completely not possible with add_footnote and its auto-numbering system. Now you can. - Ability to add non-labelled footnotes via the general type - Ability to add customizable section header - Ability to put all footnotes in a section into a chunk. In the past, you can only add footnotes as a list.

What you will loose: - The auto-numbered in-table notations (for footnote please use footnote_marker_***() to make in-table notations. See package vignette for details.)

I don’t want to break people’s existing code whenever possible so add_footnote will still be there for a while. I will try to maintain it but maybe not that actively.

library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)
kable(mtcars[1:5, 1:5], "html") %>%
  kable_styling("striped", full_width = F) %>%
  footnote(alphabet = c("Footnote 1", "Footnote 2"))

Now those *_spec() functions can underline/strikeout or add some customized CSS to texts

kable(mtcars[1:5, 1:5], "html") %>%
  kable_styling("striped", full_width = F) %>%
  row_spec(1, strikeout = T) %>%
  row_spec(2, underline = T) %>%
  footnote(alphabet = c("Footnote 1", "Footnote 2"))
