Arguments

data

A table object that is created using the gt() function.

container.width, container.height

The width and height of the table's container. Can be specified as a single-length character with units of pixels or as a percentage. If provided as a single-length numeric vector, it is assumed that the value is given in units of pixels. The px() and pct() helper functions can also be used to pass in numeric values and obtain values as pixel or percent units.

container.overflow.x, container.overflow.y

Options to enable scrolling in the horizontal and vertical directions when the table content overflows the container dimensions. Using TRUE (the default for both) means that horizontal or vertical scrolling is enabled to view the entire table in those directions. With FALSE, the table may be clipped if the table width or height exceeds the container.width or container.height.

table.width

The width of the table. Can be specified as a single-length character with units of pixels or as a percentage. If provided as a single-length numeric vector, it is assumed that the value is given in units of pixels. The px() and pct() helper functions can also be used to pass in numeric values and obtain values as pixel or percent units.

table.layout

The value for the table-layout CSS style in the HTML output context. By default, this is "fixed" but another valid option is "auto".

table.align

The horizontal alignment of the table in its container. By default, this is "center". Other options are "left" and "right". This will automatically set table.margin.left and table.margin.right to the appropriate values.

table.margin.left, table.margin.right

The size of the margins on the left and right of the table within the container. Can be specified as a single-length character with units of pixels or as a percentage. If provided as a single-length numeric vector, it is assumed that the value is given in units of pixels. The px() and pct() helper functions can also be used to pass in numeric values and obtain values as pixel or percent units. Using table.margin.left or table.margin.right will overwrite any values set by table.align.

table.background.color, heading.background.color, column_labels.background.color, row_group.background.color, stub.background.color, summary_row.background.color, grand_summary_row.background.color, footnotes.background.color, source_notes.background.colo

Background colors for the parent element table and the following child elements: heading, column_labels, row_group, stub, summary_row, grand_summary_row, footnotes, and source_notes. A color name or a hexadecimal color code should be provided.

table.additional_css

This option can be used to supply an additional block of CSS rules to be applied after the automatically generated table CSS.

table.font.names

The names of the fonts used for the table. This is a vector of several font names. If the first font isn't available, then the next font is tried (and so on).

table.font.size, heading.title.font.size, heading.subtitle.font.size, column_labels.font.size, row_group.font.size, stub.font.size, footnotes.font.size, source_notes.font.size

The font sizes for the parent text element table and the following child elements: heading.title, heading.subtitle, column_labels, row_group, footnotes, and source_notes. Can be specified as a single-length character vector with units of pixels (e.g., 12px) or as a percentage (e.g., 80\%). If provided as a single-length numeric vector, it is assumed that the value is given in units of pixels. The px() and pct() helper functions can also be used to pass in numeric values and obtain values as pixel or percentage units.

table.font.weight, heading.title.font.weight, heading.subtitle.font.weight, column_labels.font.weight, row_group.font.weight, stub.font.weight

The font weights of the table, heading.title, heading.subtitle, column_labels, row_group, and stub text elements. Can be a text-based keyword such as "normal", "bold", "lighter", "bolder", or, a numeric value between 1 and 1000, inclusive. Note that only variable fonts may support the numeric mapping of weight.

table.font.style

The font style for the table. Can be one of either "normal", "italic", or "oblique".

table.font.color, table.font.color.light

The text color used throughout the table. There are two variants: table.font.color is for text overlaid on lighter background colors, and table.font.color.light is automatically used when text needs to be overlaid on darker background colors. A color name or a hexadecimal color code should be provided.

table.border.top.style, table.border.top.width, table.border.top.color, table.border.right.style, table.border.right.width, table.border.right.color, table.border.bottom.style, table.border.bottom.width, table.border.bottom.color, table.border.left.style,

The style, width, and color properties of the table's absolute top and absolute bottom borders.

column_labels.vlines.style, column_labels.vlines.width, column_labels.vlines.color

The style, width, and color properties for all vertical lines ('vlines') of the the column_labels.

column_labels.border.top.style, column_labels.border.top.width, column_labels.border.top.color

The style, width, and color properties for the top border of the column_labels location. This border shares space with that of the heading location. If dthe width of this border is larger, then it will be the visible border.

The option exists for providing keywords for certain types of footnote marks. The keyword "numbers" (the default, indicating that we want to use numeric marks).
