Longtable huxtable

[Nicktz]

Hi, great package.

Would just like to know if there is a way of specifying a long-table in huxtable from rmarkdown without having to hack the tex file for pdf output?

?tabular_environment but be aware that nothing is guaranteed to work!

Hi, really like this package!

The set_tabular_environment works to include 'longtable' in the Latex but unfortunately the \begin{longtable} is below the caption now thus the caption is not being generated.

No caption:

 \providecommand{\huxb}[2]{\arrayrulecolor[RGB]{#1}\global\arrayrulewidth=#2pt}
  \providecommand{\huxvb}[2]{\color[RGB]{#1}\vrule width #2pt}
  \providecommand{\huxtpad}[1]{\rule{0pt}{\baselineskip+#1}}
  \providecommand{\huxbpad}[1]{\rule[-#1]{0pt}{#1}}

\begin{table}[H]
\begin{raggedright}
\begin{threeparttable}
\captionsetup{justification=raggedright,singlelinecheck=off}
\caption{Summary Table}
\begin{longtable}{p{0.25\textwidth} p{0.75\textwidth}

Caption generated:

\providecommand{\huxb}[2]{\arrayrulecolor[RGB]{#1}\global\arrayrulewidth=#2pt}
  \providecommand{\huxvb}[2]{\color[RGB]{#1}\vrule width #2pt}
  \providecommand{\huxtpad}[1]{\rule{0pt}{\baselineskip+#1}}
  \providecommand{\huxbpad}[1]{\rule[-#1]{0pt}{#1}}

\begin{table}[H]
\begin{raggedright}
\begin{threeparttable}
\captionsetup{justification=raggedright,singlelinecheck=off}
\begin{longtable}{p{0.25\textwidth} p{0.75\textwidth}}
\caption{Summary Table}

Any suggestions on how to ensure the caption comes after the \begin{longtable}?

It’s a bug but not a priority. See ?tabular_environment for why not. Also NB: this is a new issue, not the same as the existing one.

It looks like @hughjonesd fixed this issue by adding table_environment() in https://github.com/hughjonesd/huxtable/commit/0773fed305ec8a764ff814bfa709d9040c1d9e93.

Comments welcome on whether this actually works!

Any interest in using my tabularray package for LaTeX long (and short) table output? This package is much more powerful than traditional table packages, and it is able to separate contents and styles of tables like html and css.

[hughjonesd]

Possibly. It looks quite good.

• Can it cope with horizontal/vertical borders that don't span the whole table?
• Is there a way to specify padding within cells?
• Does it have "longtable" facilities?

Most importantly, are you interested in working on it? That will definitely improve its changes of happening.

Yes, see the documentation.

Paddings are only for rows and columns in LaTeX tables.

• Does it have "longtable" facilities?

Yes, see the documentation.

Sorry, I am not an R user (never use it before). I know only LaTeX.
