format_tt | R Documentation |
This function formats the columns of a data frame based on the column type (logical, date, numeric).
It allows various formatting options like significant digits, decimal points, and scientific notation.
It also includes custom formatting for date and boolean values.
If this function is applied several times to the same cell, the last transformation is retained and the previous calls are ignored, except for the escape
argument which can be applied to previously transformed data.

x |
A data frame or a vector to be formatted. |
i |
Row indices where the formatting should be applied. |
j |
Column indices where the styling should be applied. Can be:
|
digits |
Number of significant digits or decimal places. |
num_fmt |
The format for numeric values; one of 'significant', 'significant_cell', 'decimal', or 'scientific'. |
num_zero |
Logical; if TRUE, trailing zeros are kept in "decimal" format (but not in "significant" format). |
num_suffix |
Logical; if TRUE display short numbers with |
num_mark_big |
Character to use as a thousands separator. |
num_mark_dec |
Decimal mark character. Default is the global option 'OutDec'. |
date |
A string passed to the |
bool |
A function to format logical columns. Defaults to title case. |
math |
Logical. If TRUE, wrap cell values in math mode |
other |
A function to format columns of other types. Defaults to |
replace |
Logical, String or Named list of vectors
|
escape |
Logical or "latex" or "html". If TRUE, escape special characters to display them as text in the format of the output of a
|
markdown |
Logical; if TRUE, render markdown syntax in cells. Ex: |
quarto |
Logical. Enable Quarto data processing and wrap cell content in a |
fn |
Function for custom formatting. Accepts a vector and returns a character vector of the same length. |
sprintf |
String passed to the |
A data frame with formatted columns.
Options can be set with options()
and change the default behavior of tinytable. For example:
options(tinytable_tt_digits = 4) tt(head(iris))
You can set options in a script or via .Rprofile
. Note: be cautious with .Rprofile
settings as they may affect reproducibility.

The format_tt(quarto=TRUE)
argument enables Quarto data processing with some limitations:
The \QuartoMarkdownBase64{}
LaTeX macro may not process references and markdown as expected
Quarto processing may conflict with tinytable
styling/formatting
Options:
tinytable_quarto_disable_processing
: Disable Quarto cell processing
tinytable_print_rstudio_notebook
: Display tables "inline" or in "viewer" for RStudio notebooks
tinytable_quarto_figure
: Control Typst figure environment in Quarto
Example of Quarto-specific code in cells:
x <- data.frame(Math = "x^2^", Citation = "@Lovelace1842") fn <- function(z) sprintf("<span data-qmd='%s'></span>", z) tt(x) |> format_tt(i = 1, fn = fn)
