I am producing a pdf document using bookdown. In the document I have a table and in some of the cells in the table I have png images.
I can successfully build the book, but the alignment of figures and text does not match. It looks like all the text is aligned to the bottom of the cells whereas the images are aligned to the top of the cells.
I have tried using the pander package instead of kableExtra and got the exact same result.
Here is an example:
---
site: bookdown::bookdown_site
documentclass: book
output:
bookdown::pdf_book:
toc: false
includes:
delete_merged_file: true
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE, message=FALSE, cache=TRUE)
library(kableExtra)
library(knitr)
```
# Hello World
I think the world is flat
```{r}
flag = "http://flagpedia.net/data/flags/mini/gb.png"
download.file(flag,'flag.png', mode = 'wb')
tbl_img <- data.frame(
col1 = c("row1", "row2"),
col2 = c("",
""),
col3 = c(
"here is a whole bunch of text to show how the images and text in the table are not properly aligned.",
"here is a whole bunch of text to show how the images and text in the table are not properly aligned."))
tbl_img %>%
kbl(booktabs = T) %>%
column_spec(2, image = spec_image(
c("flag.png", "flag.png"), 600, 400)) %>%
column_spec(3, width = "5cm")
```
Which produces this:
Is it possible to get the text in columns 1 and 3 to be vertically aligned in their cells (text starting in the top left of the cell)?
I have used the workaround described by #Lyngbakr in the past kable: Vertical alignment does not work with pdf output

I am using bookdown to create pdf reports, but my tables are all floating down to the bottom of the page, regardless of how much space there is. See this example:
---
title: "test_doc"
author: "Jake Thompson"
date: "6/30/2017"
output:
bookdown::pdf_document2:
toc: false
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE, collapse = TRUE)
library(tidyverse)
```
# Test heading
Let make a data frame and print it in Table \#ref(tab:test-table)
```{r test-table}
data_frame(col_a = seq_len(5), col_b = rnorm(5), col_c = runif(5)) %>%
knitr::kable(caption = "This is a test")
```
The resulting pdf looks like this:
Why does the table go to the bottom of the page? And is there a way to prevent this behavior?
You can solve this problem with kableExtra by
data_frame(col_a = seq_len(5), col_b = rnorm(5), col_c = runif(5)) %>%
knitr::kable(caption = "This is a test") %>%
kableExtra::kable_styling(latex_options = "hold_position")
It basically insert a [!h] to the LaTeX table environment which will prevent the floating behavior and pin the table at current location.
I had to use
kable_styling(latex_options = "HOLD_position")
Note the uppercase HOLD_position, different from hold_position. See also here.
To be able to use that, I also had to add to the top section of the doc (from How to build a latex kable through bookdown::render_book?):

Default R Markdown captions in Word appear as:
Figure 1: Figure Title
Table 1: Table Title
I would like to format my captions so that the Figure 1/Table 1 is bold and the title is italic on the next line. This is the APA style of captions:
Figure 1
Figure Title
I have been trying to figure out an easy way to do this, but can't seem to find a solution. (If figure captions can be above figure, rather than below, that would also be great!). Here is a minimal reprex:
---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Test"
date: "11/8/2020"
output:
bookdown::word_document2: default
---
{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(tidyverse)
library(flextable)
{r table, tab.cap="Descriptives", echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
psych::describe(cars) %>%
as.data.frame() %>%
flextable() %>%
set_table_properties(layout = "autofit", width = 1)
{r fig, fig.cap="Pressure Figure", echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
For tables you can do it with officedown, officer and flextable packages, styling in reference_doxc, and by taking the advantage of "\n\n" for tables.
In yaml in the pre argument you set up a prefix for every table and a separator between the number and the title itself.
---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Test"
date: "11/8/2020"
output:
officedown::rdocx_document:
tables:
caption:
pre: 'Table '
sep: ''
---
With
tab.cap.fp_text = officer::fp_text_lite()
you can define the formatting of the caption prefix. In APA style it would be bold without italics, preferrably configured in the global knitr options, e.g.
knitr::opts_chunk$set(tab.cap.fp_text = officer::fp_text_lite(italic = FALSE, bold = TRUE))
And you add
"\n\n"
to the table caption to produce a new line
{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, tab.cap.fp_text = officer::fp_text_lite(italic = FALSE, bold = TRUE))
library(tidyverse)
library(flextable)
{r table, tab.cap="\n\nDescriptives", echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
psych::describe(cars) %>%
as.data.frame() %>%
flextable() %>%
set_table_properties(layout = "autofit", width = 1)
The last thing is to create a reference_doxc in which you add italics to the table caption style. The caption prefix is not affected, as you control it with the knitr options.
When I embed a table generated by using knitr::kable,
I want to adjust the width of the table in beamer_presentation's slide.
Like this picture, some columns don't show in slide when executing the following codes.
Could you tell me how to solve this problem without changing column's names?
---
title: "test"
author: "test"
date: "`r Sys.time()`"
output:
beamer_presentation:
latex_engine: xelatex
fontsize: 6pt
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(warning = FALSE)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(include = FALSE)
library(tidyverse)
library(kableExtra)
library(knitr)
```
## Table
```{r test, results = "asis",include=TRUE}
test_tbl = tibble(
example_name1 = c("a", "b"),
example_name2 = c("aa", "bb"),
example_name3 = c("aaa", "bbb"),
example_name4 = c("aaaa", "bbbb"),
example_name5 = c("aaaaa", "bbbbb")
)
knitr::kable(test_tbl, format = "markdown")
```
The table is too large to fit on one slide. By adjusting the font size with kableExtra the size of the table can be changed. To do this, set the argument format = "latex" in kable() and then pipe kable_styling().
knitr::kable(test_tbl, format = "latex") %>%
kableExtra::kable_styling(font_size = 7)
It is useful to include LaTeX packages like booktabs to format tables nicely with kable or kableExtra. This is not as flexible as working with LaTeX directly but often leads to quite good results.
First of all, include booktabs in the YAML header.
---
title: "test"
author: "test"
date: "`r Sys.time()`"
header-includes:
- \usepackage{booktabs}
output: beamer_presentation
---
Then set booktabs = TRUE in kable().
knitr::kable(test_tbl, format = "latex", booktabs = T) %>%
kableExtra::kable_styling(font_size = 7)

The following code produces 2 tables on top of each other. How would I set it to have them aligned side by side, e.g. 3 to a row?
---
title: "sample"
output: pdf_document
---
```{r global_options, R.options=knitr::opts_chunk$set(warning=FALSE, message=FALSE)}
```
```{r sample, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}
library(knitr)
t1 <- head(mtcars)[1:3]
t2 <- head(mtcars)[4:6]
print(kable(t1))
print(kable(t2))
```
Output looks like this:
Just put two data frames in a list, e.g.
t1 <- head(mtcars)[1:3]
t2 <- head(mtcars)[4:6]
knitr::kable(list(t1, t2))
Note this requires knitr >= 1.13.
I used this Align two data.frames next to each other with knitr? which shows how to do it in html and this https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2832/how-can-i-have-two-tables-side-by-side to align 2 Latex tables next to each other. It seems that you cannot freely adjust the lines of the table as you can do it with xtable (does anybody know more about this?). With format = Latex you get a horizontal line after each row. But the documentation shows two examples for other formats. One using the longtable package (additional argument: longtable = TRUE) and the other using the booktabs package (booktabs = TRUE).

```{r sample, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}
library(knitr)
library(xtable)
t1 <- kable(head(mtcars)[1:3], format = "latex", booktabs = TRUE)
t2 <- kable(head(mtcars)[4:6], format = "latex", booktabs = TRUE)
cat(c("\\begin{table}[!htb]
\\begin{minipage}{.5\\linewidth}
\\caption{}
\\centering",
t1,
"\\end{minipage}%
\\begin{minipage}{.5\\linewidth}
\\centering
\\caption{}",
t2,
"\\end{minipage}
\\end{table}"
))
```
here a solution for html documents
(As this question was asked very broadly and not specifically referring to LaTeX).
Requires knitr and kableExtra
---
title: "Side by side"
output: html_document
---
```{r sample, echo=FALSE}
library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)
t1 <- head(mtcars)[1:3]
t2 <- head(mtcars)[4:6]
```
## as list
```{r}
kable(list(t1, t2))
```
## with float
```{r, echo = FALSE}
kable(t1) %>%
kable_styling(full_width = FALSE, position = "float_left")
kable(t2) %>%
kable_styling(full_width = FALSE, position = "left")
```
It is intentional that table t2 gets position = "left". If you allow it to float, this will not block the rest of the paragraph and mess up the following lines in your document.
result:
In Quarto, you can use layout-ncol. This works both for HTML and PDF outputs.

title: "sidebyside"
format: pdf
editor: visual
---
```{r}
#| layout-ncol: 2
#| tbl-cap: "Tables"
#| tbl-subcap: ["A table", "Another table"]
library(knitr)
# table on the left
kable(head(mtcars))
# table on the right
kable(head(cars))
```
