print_2heading_xtable: Print LaTeX tables with headings over two lines

In HughParsonage/grattanCharts: Create Charts in the Style of the Grattan Insitute, Melbourne

Description

Print LaTeX tables with headings over two lines

Usage

print_2heading_xtable(.data, separator = "__", xtable.align = NULL,
  booktabs = TRUE, heading_command = "\\textbf",
  xtable.dots = NULL, ...)

Arguments

.data	A data frame with at least some of the column names having a separator.
separator	A regular expression that splits the top and bottom rows. If the separator is not found in the names of .data, the function returns an error (saying you should probably just use print.xtable())
xtable.align	Passed to xtable: Character vector of length equal to the number of columns of the resulting table, indicating the alignment of the corresponding columns.
booktabs	Should the tabular environment produced use booktabs? Set to TRUE for (my) convenience. This will cause an error if \usepackage{booktabs} has not been called in LaTeX.
heading_command	A (simple) LaTeX control sequence (properly escaped) to apply to each heading names.
xtable.dots	Arguments passed to xtable::xtable. Providing both xtable.dots and xtable.align is an error.
...	Arguments passed to print.xtable. You cannot pass add.to.row, include.rownames, or include.colnames as we make use of these options in this function.

Value

Output intended for LaTeX. A table produced using xtable where groups of column names are put in the top row.
