tfrmt 0.4.0

Improvements

Bug fixes

  • Fix bug in tfrmt_sigdig so it correctly passes the ‘missing’ argument to the body_plan (#621, @alanahjonas95).
  • Fix bug in page_plan where the max_rows argument was returning an error if a value in the group variable was an empty string (#539, @alanahjonas95).
  • Fix bug in row_grp_plan where identical labels repeated across different groups were incorrectly forced to the top of the table instead of maintaining their correct order (#634, @alanahjonas95).
  • Fix bug in as.character.span_structure where the regex was incorrectly capturing content wrapped in parentheses as an R function even though it did not have a valid R function identifier immediately before the (. i.e., “n (%)” incorrectly captured as a function (#643, @LiamHobby).

tfrmt 0.3.0

CRAN release: 2026-01-24

Improvements

  • page_plan() receives a new argument, transform, allowing users to modify the page label (#496, @dragosmg).
  • Replace duplicate spaces in the centre of the cell body of an output gt with unicode whitespace to ensure formatting is retained when going to pdf. Leading and trailing whitespace will be non-breaking unicode whitespace
  • Default to center alignment of table body values to match alignment of column headers

tfrmt 0.2.1

CRAN release: 2025-10-04

Patch release for latest {gt} release and upcoming {purrr} and {stringr} releases:

  • Ensure rowname_col = NULL in gt() within print_to_gt() if no row label exists.
  • Use of seq_along(x) in lieu of 1:length(x) prior to str_replace() as it no longer accepts NA patterns.
  • Ensure values are character before processing via map_chr() as it no longer coerces to character.

tfrmt 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2025-09-06

Improvements

  • Working with ARDs created from the {cards} package:
    • Added shuffle_card(), which prepares a card ARD object for analysis.
    • Added prep_...() functions to reduce the manual processing required for a card ARD object once it has been shuffled. (#509, @dragosmg)
      • prep_combine_vars(): useful for combining sparsely populated columns into a single one.
      • prep_big_n(): useful when the tfrmt contains a bigN structure. It recodes the "n" stat_name into "bigN" for the desired variables.
      • prep_label(): combines stat_label and variable_level for categorical (or categorical-like) variables.
      • prep_hierarchical_fill(): does a pair-wise replacement of missing values (NAs) in one column based on another column. It can replace NA either with a predetermined value, with the value of the other column in the pair, or with a {glue} expression.
  • Updated RTF footnotes so they go in the document footer by default.

Bug fixes

  • Fix issue where *_structure functions did not correctly parse strings containing quotes in some cases. (#466)
  • Fix issue where page_plan doesn’t work if there is only one level in your paging variable. (#506)
  • Fix issues where an error is thrown instead of a message if: (1) levels of page-specific big Ns do not align with levels of pagination (#505) or (2) the pagination levels are sorted non-alphabetically. (#516)
  • Fix issue where the big_n_structure doesn’t work when the column name used for page_plan/grouping has a space in it. (#522)

tfrmt 0.1.3

CRAN release: 2024-10-15

Improvements

  • Incorporate contents of col_style_plan in the creation of mock data.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where JSON conversion of frmt_when dropped quotes from strings
  • Avoid use of deprecated functionality in dplyr::summarise()

tfrmt 0.1.2

CRAN release: 2024-07-06

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where table stub indentation does not transfer to all output types
  • Fixed issue where incomplete body_plan may error if the grouping variable is a factor

tfrmt 0.1.1

CRAN release: 2024-03-15

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue where frmt_combine couldn’t process variable names surrounded by backticks
  • Fixed issue where row_grp_plan post space did not respect col_style_plan widths by adding new fill argument to element_block. The fill argument controls whether post space values should be recycled for the cell’s data width. For example, a cell width of 3 will be respected by the post space with the following syntax: element_block(post_space = "---", fill = FALSE).
  • Remove unused border argument in element_block.
  • Fixed bug where row_grp_plan splits on all grouping variables, even if not mentioned. Instead, the logic has been updated to split on those explicitly mentioned, similar to page_plan
  • Fixed issue where padding and alignment is lost for non-HTML outputs via the .unicode_ws argument added to print_to_gt() and print_mock_gt(). This defaults to TRUE but should be set to FALSE for RTF outputs (until {gt} bug is resolved).
  • Fixed issue where make_mock_data could result in duplicate rows

tfrmt 0.1.0

CRAN release: 2023-10-17

New features:

  • Improved column alignment capabilities (via col_style_plan). Alignment options now fall into two types: character (type = “char”) and positional (type = “pos”). Positional alignment is new and allows for aligning across multiple positions.
  • Add page_plan for splitting tables across multiple pages
  • Add ability to add a group/label header via the col_plan

Breaking changes:

  • Name of the list component inside row_grp_plan that stores row_grp_structures has been changed from “struct_ls” to “struct_list” to be consistent with other objects. This may impact compatibility with JSON files created using prior versions of {tfrmt}.

Bug fixes:

  • frmt_combine no longer throws error if group variable is named “var”
  • row_grp_plan with post-space no longer throws error if character column contains NA values

tfrmt 0.0.3

CRAN release: 2023-06-22

  • Fixed bugs with JSON read/write
  • Added transformation capabilities to frmt()

tfrmt 0.0.2

CRAN release: 2023-02-13

  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
  • Added functionality to read/write tfrmts to JSON files
  • Updates made to work with the newest version of dplyr
