header_cols: Mark rows or columns as headers

In huxtable: Easily Create and Style Tables for LaTeX, HTML and Other Formats

Mark rows or columns as headers

Description

Arbitrary rows and columns can be headers: they do not have to be at the top or left of the table.

Usage

header_cols(ht)

header_cols(ht) <- value

set_header_cols(ht, col, value)

header_rows(ht)

header_rows(ht) <- value

set_header_rows(ht, row, value)

Arguments

ht	A huxtable.
value	Logical vector. Set to NA to reset to the default, which is FALSE.
col	A column specifier. See rowspecs for details.
row	A row specifier. See rowspecs for details.

Details

By default header rows and columns are not shown differently from other rows, but you can change this with style_headers(). Various themes may set properties on headers. Lastly, headers are treated differently when restacking.

Examples

jams <- set_header_rows(jams, 1, TRUE)
jams <- set_header_cols(jams, 1, TRUE)
style_headers(jams,
  bold       = TRUE,
  text_color = "purple"
)
