This function takes the result of createTable and exports the tables to markdown format. It may be useful when inserting R code chunks in a Markdown file (.Rmd).
export2md(x, which.table = "descr", nmax = TRUE, nmax.method = 1, header.labels = c(),
caption = NULL, format = "html", width = Inf, strip = FALSE,
first.strip = FALSE, background = "#D2D2D2", size = NULL, landscape=FALSE,
header.background=NULL, header.color=NULL, position="center", ...)
It does not return anything, but the Markdown code to generate the descriptive or available table is printed.
an object of class 'createTable'.
character indicating which table is printed. Possible values are 'descr' or 'avail'(partial matching allowed), exporting descriptives by groups table or availability data table, respectively. Default value is 'descr'.
logical, indicating whether to show the number of subjects with at least one valid value across all row-variables. Default value is TRUE.
integer with two possible values: 1-number of observation with valid values in at least one row-variable; 2-total number of observations or rows in the data set or in the group. Default value is 1.
see the 'header.labels' argument from createTable.
character specifying the table caption for descriptives and available data table. If which.table='both' the first element of 'caption' will be assigned to descriptives table and the second to available data table. If it is set to "", no caption is inserted. Default value is NULL, which writes 'Summary descriptives table by groups of 'y'' for descriptives table and 'Available data by groups of 'y'' for the available data table.
character with three options: 'html', 'latex' or 'markdown'. If missing, it tries to guess the default options of Rmarkdown file in which the table in inserted, or html if it is not in a Rmarkdown file or format not specified.
character string to specify the width of first column of descriptive table. It is ignored when exporting to Word. Default value is Inf which makes the first column to autoadjust to variable names. Other examples are '10cm', '3in' or '30em'.
logical. It shadows table lines corresponding to each variable.
logical. It determines whether to shadow the first variable (TRUE) or the second (FALSE). It only applies when strip argument is true.
color code in HEX format for shadowed lines. You can use rgb function to convert red, green and blue to HEX code. Default color is '#D2D2D2'.
numeric. Size of descriptive table. Default value is NULL which creates the table in default size.
logical. It determines whether to place the table in landscape (horizontal) format. It only applies when format is 'latex'. Default value is FALSE.
color character for table header or 'NULL'. Default value is 'NULL'.
color character for table header text. Default color is 'NULL'.
character specifying the table location. Possible values are 'left', 'center', 'right', 'float_left' and 'float_right'. It only applies when compiling to HTML or PDF. Default value is 'center'. See kable_styling position argument for more info.
