Add 'gt' table into a Word document

Add a 'gt' table into a Word document. The table will be processed using the as_word function then inserted either after, before, or on the cursor location.

body_add_gt(
  x,
  value,
  align = "center",
  pos = c("after", "before", "on"),
  caption_location = c("top", "bottom", "embed"),
  caption_align = "left",
  split = FALSE,
  keep_with_next = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

`rdocx` object

value

`gt_tbl` object

align

left, center (default) or right.

pos

where to add the gt table relative to the cursor, one of "after" (default), "before", "on" (end of line).

caption_location

top (default), bottom, or embed indicating if the title and subtitle should be listed above, below, or be embedded in the table

caption_align

left (default), center, or right. Alignment of caption (title and subtitle). Used when `caption_location` is not "embed".

split

set to TRUE if you want to activate Word option 'Allow row to break across pages'.

keep_with_next

Word option 'keep rows together' can be activated when TRUE. It avoids page break within tables.
