Hello,

Please include a function to merge rows. Like that requested here https://community.rstudio.com/t/merge-cells-in-a-gt-table/46770

Also, please include a function to wrap long column titles/headers.

Without these two functions I can't really use the table I've created - it's not polished looking.

Thank you for this package! I have been waiting a long time for this in R :)

It would be nice to be able to merge cells in a column based on values in a different column, similar to flextable::merge_v

I totally agree that cell merging would be a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion!
