wrapLaTable: Wrapper for a floating LaTeX Table

Description

wrapLaTable() wraps (a table and tabular environment) around the lines of the body of a LaTeX table and utilizes writeLines() to write the LaTeX table.

Usage

wrapLaTable(x, align, do.table = TRUE, placement = "htbp", center = TRUE,
            fontsize = "normalsize", booktabs = TRUE,
            caption = NULL, label = NULL)

Value

a “LaTeX table”, of class "Latex" (where the

print method uses writeLines()).

Arguments

x

a character vector containing the lines of the body of the table (for “booktabs” tables, everything strictly between \midrule and \bottomrule). A table header can be passed via attributes of x.

align

table columns alignment string (e.g., "lcccS[table-format=1.2]", the notation of "S[...]" coming from the LaTeX package siunitx).

do.table

placement

(if do.table:) character string containing a LaTeX table placement string such as "htbp".

center

logical indicating whether centering should happen.

fontsize

caption

(if do.table:) character string containing the table caption or NULL for no caption.

label
