In 6Youcai/Xtable: Advanced Tables for R Markdown

Xtable

install

devtools::install_github("6Youcai/Xtable")

Tables

common tables can be generated by markdown like this:

First Header  | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Content Cell  | Content Cell
Content Cell  | Content Cell

rowspan

I defined $v2; for a cell than spans to the down for two rows;

```{r, echo=FALSE, results='asis'} library(Xtable) text <- "First Header | Second Header | Third Header ------------- | ------------- | ------------ $v2;Content Cell 1 | Content Cell 2 | Content Cell 3 Content Cell 4 | Content Cell 5 " Xtable::Mtable(text)

in R markdown, these code will generate

## colspan

similarly, `$>3;` means a cell that spans to the right for three cols.

```{r, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}
text <- "
First Header  | Second Header | Third Header | Fourth Header
------------- | ------------- | ------------ | -------------  
Content Cell 1 | Content Cell 2 | Content Cell 3 | Content Cell 4
Content Cell 5 |$>3;Content Cell 6
$>2;Content Cell 7| Content Cell 8| Content Cell 9
"
Mtable(text)

mixed

{r, echo=FALSE, results='asis'} text <- " Content Cell 1 | Content Cell 2 | Content Cell 3 | Content Cell 4 | Content Cell 5 Content Cell 6 | $v2;$>2;Content Cell 7 | Content Cell 8 Content Cell 9| Content Cell 10| Content Cell 11 Content Cell 12 | Content Cell 13| Content Cell 14| Content Cell 15 Content Cell 16| Content Cell 17| $>3;Content Cell 18 " Mtable(text)
