Generic export of data frames into formatted tables

Description

display() is a generic function to export data frames into various table formats (like plain text, markdown, ...). print_md() usually is a convenient wrapper for display(format = "markdown"). Similar, print_html() is a shortcut for display(format = "html"). See the documentation for the specific objects' classes.

Usage

display(object, ...)

print_md(x, ...)

print_html(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
display(object, format = "markdown", ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
print_md(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
print_html(x, ...)

Arguments

object, x	A data frame.
...	Arguments passed to other methods.
format	String, indicating the output format. Can be "markdown" or "html". A special option is "tt", which creates a tinytable::tt() object, where the output format is dependent on the context where the table is used, i.e. it can be markdown format when export_table() is used in markdown files, or LaTex format when creating PDFs etc.

Value

Depending on format, either an object of class gt_tbl, tinytable, or a character vector of class knitr_kable.

Global Options to Customize Output when Printing

• ⁠options(easystats_display_format = <value>)⁠ will set the default format for the display() methods. Can be one of "markdown", "html", or "tt". See display() for details.

• ⁠options(easystats_table_width = <value>)⁠ sets the default width for tables printed to the console. Tables exceeding this width are wrapped into multiple parts to ensure clean formatting and avoid excessively long lines.

• ⁠options(easystats_ci_separator = <value>)⁠ defines the separator string used between the lower and upper CI limits. Defaults to ", ", resulting in an output like ⁠[0.3, 0.8]⁠.

• ⁠options(easystats_ci_brackets = <value>)⁠ determines whether brackets or parentheses are used to enclose formatted CIs. Can be FALSE to omit them, TRUE to include them (defaults to [ and ⁠]⁠ for text output), or a character vector of length 2 to define custom opening and closing symbols (e.g., c("(", ")")).

• ⁠options(insight_use_symbols = <value>)⁠ accepts TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, statistical symbols (e.g., eta-squared, omega) are rendered using their corresponding Unicode characters.

Examples

display(iris[1:5, ], format = "html")

display(iris[1:5, ], format = "tt")

display(iris[1:5, ], format = "markdown")
