Output from knitr::kable() is less full featured compared to
summary tables produced with gt.
For example, kable summary tables do not include indentation, footnotes,
or spanning header rows.
Line breaks (\n) are removed from column headers and table cells.
Usage
as_kable(x, ..., include = everything(), return_calls = FALSE)Arguments
- x
(
gtsummary)
Object created by a function from the gtsummary package (e.g. tbl_summary or tbl_regression)- ...
Additional arguments passed to
knitr::kable()- include
Commands to include in output. Input may be a vector of quoted or unquoted names. tidyselect and gtsummary select helper functions are also accepted. Default is
everything().- return_calls
Logical. Default is
FALSE. IfTRUE, the calls are returned as a list of expressions.
Details
Tip: To better distinguish variable labels and level labels when
indenting is not supported, try bold_labels() or italicize_levels().
