Custom printing of tabular objects. — knit

Automatically print tabular objects with formatting when in a knitr document.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'tabular'
knit_print(x, format = getKnitrFormat(), ...)

Arguments

x: A tabular object.
format: Which output format? "latex" and "html" are supported.
...: Other parameters, currently ignored.

Details

This function is not normally called by a user. It is designed to be called by knitr while processing a .Rmd or .Rnw document.

If table_options()$knit_print is TRUE and the output format is supported, this method will prepare output suitable for formatted printing in a knitr document using asis_output. Otherwise, the usual unformatted print display will be done by normal_print.

Value

An object marked for printing in a knitr document.

Examples

tab <- tabular( (Species + 1) ~ (n=1) + Format(digits=2)*
         (Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width)*(mean + sd), data=iris )
knitr::knit_print(tab)
