Column alignment switches between rows

[dietrichson]

Describe the bug Column alignment different for each row when using multi-line text in columns. See the pdf for output: testing-and-debug.pdf

To Reproduce Think about using reprex to generate an example in R.

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(tidyverse)
library(kableExtra)
dt_lb <- data.frame(
  I = c(   "1\nStuff to do\n more stuff",
           "2\nStuff to do\n more stuff",
           "3\nStuff to do\n more stuff",
           "4\nStuff to do\n more stuff"),
  II =  c("1\nMore meetings\n and coffe-breaks",
          "2\nMore meetings\n and coffe-breaks",
          "3\nMore meetings\n and coffe-breaks",
          "4\nMore meetings\n and coffe-breaks"),
  III = c("1\nthis is \n more text",
          "2\nthis is \n more text",
          "3\nthis is \n more text",
          "4\nthis is \n more text")
)

dt_lb %>%
  mutate_all(linebreak) %>%
  kbl(
    format = "latex",
  ,booktabs = T, escape = F, 
  col.names = c("One","TWO","THREE")
  ).

This happens because you didn't specify alignment in the linebreak call. Probably missing align in that call should default to "l" instead of cycling through all choices.

Not quite sure what this means, should I add additional parameters in the line: mutate_all(linebreak) %>%

Or am I missing a step?

I think you just add extra parameters, e.g. mutate_all(linebreak, align = "l") %>% ... .
