as_kable {gtsummary}

Convert gtsummary object to a kable object

Description

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. If TRUE, 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().

Value

A knitr_kable object
