Typst
Multi-page long tables
The Typst tables created by tinytable are automatically broken across pages with repeated headers. However, in Quarto documents, the Quarto software wraps tables in an non-breakable #figure environment. This can break the display of long tables. One solution is to use a raw Typst code block to set Figures to be breakable:
---
format: typst
---
```{=typst}
#show figure: set block(breakable: true)
```
```{r}
#| tbl-cap: "blah blah blah"
#| label: tbl-blah
library(tinytable)
tt(head(iris, 50))
```
kind
By default, tinytable adds kind:"tinytable" to all tables produced by the package. This can easily be modified using the finalize argument of the style_tt() function, and it can be applied automatically to all tables by setting a default theme. For example,
theme_fancy <- function(x, ...) {
fancytable <- function(x) {
if (x@output == "typst") {
x@table_string <- sub(
'kind: "tinytable"',
'kind: "fancytable"',
x@table_string, fixed = TRUE)
}
return(x)
}
x |> style_tt(finalize = fancytable)
}
options(tinytable_tt_theme = theme_fancy)
tt(head(iris)) |> print("typst")
rowspan and colspan
If a table has cells that span across the full table (colspan equal to nrow(tab)), the rowspan argument can collapse multiple rows into a single cell. See this forum post for explanation why:
