In baixueyuan/pryrk: Primary Bond Market Ranking in China

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

The improved and customized version of the 'kable' function which is used to generated Latex table. Generally speaking, it add more customization options.

1 2	kable_im(data, caption, split = TRUE, ignore = 1, align = "c", align.str = "", font.size = "")

`data`	data.frame, the table wait to be converted to Latex code
`caption`	character, the caption of the table
`split`	logical, whether to split the header to tow lines
`ignore`	numeric, which column(s) to be ignored when splitting
`align`	character, how to align the columns, "c", "r" or "custom"
`align.str`	if `align` is set to "custom", the customized the alignment should be given here
`font.size`	the Latex code of font size can be set directly here, e.g. "\small"

The function uses kable to generate table in the **table** environment, but lack of customization of the table style. This funcion adds the following options:

- The font size can be directly input to the final Latex code.

- Set or give the alignment option of the table columns. Like "l|c|c|r".

- Split the header to tow lines, which will solve the wide table to be located inside the text area.

The LaTex code of the table will be output using cat, thus it can be copied to Latex file or used in **knitr**, where set result='asis', the same way as using kable.
