Entry verbs

Wrap a pre-summarised wide data frame into a tabular_spec.

tabular(): Start a tabular display
pivot_across(): Convert a cards ARD to a wide display data.frame

Spec building

Configure per-column display, header bands, sort order, and subgrouping. Each verb attaches one slot onto the spec and returns the updated spec for chaining.

cols(): Attach per-column specifications
cols_apply(): Apply one column spec to many columns
col_spec(): Per-column display specification
headers(): Attach multi-level column headers
sort_rows(): Sort the display rows
subgroup(): Partition the report by a variable

Styling

A single style() verb, paired with one of the cells_*() location helpers, drives every visual rule — body cells, headers, footnotes, page chrome, table edges. Build a reusable house style with style_template() and attach it to preset() so every downstream table inherits the look.

style(): Attach a style layer to a tabular_spec or style_template
cells_body() cells_headers() cells_group_headers() cells_title() cells_subgroup_labels() cells_footnotes() cells_pagehead() cells_pagefoot() cells_table() is_tabular_location(): Cell-location constructors for style()
style_template() is_style_template(): Reusable style template (for house-style presets)
brdr() is_brdr(): Border-line specification

Presets and theming

Page geometry and cosmetic defaults. preset() overrides per spec in the pipe; set_preset() sets a session default; preset_minimal() applies a stripped-down look.

preset(): Override the render preset on a spec
set_preset(): Set or clear the session default preset
get_preset(): Get the active session-default preset
preset_minimal(): Minimal theme: one header rule, normal weight throughout

Inline markup

Mark label and cell text as Markdown or HTML.

md(): Mark a string as Markdown for inline formatting
html(): Mark a string as HTML for inline formatting

Footnotes

Attach an auto-numbered footnote to any cells_*() location. The engine assigns the marker once, in reading order, deduped by id, and byte-identical across every backend and page.

footnote(): Attach an auto-numbered footnote to a table location

Pagination

Configure page splits, group-run protection, and horizontal panel layout for wide tables. Row budget per page is computed by the engine from the active preset and the spec’s chrome.

paginate(): Configure pagination

Rendering and inspection

Terminal verbs. emit() writes a file; as_grid() resolves the spec without I/O; check_fonts() and check_latex() audit font and LaTeX-package availability; the print and as.tags() methods drive the live HTML preview.

emit(): Render a tabular_spec to a file
as_grid(): Resolve a tabular_spec into a tabular_grid
check_fonts(): Check font availability across backends
check_latex(): Check LaTeX-package availability for PDF output
print.tabular_spec: Print a tabular_spec
as.tags(<tabular_spec>): Convert a tabular_spec to an htmltools tagList
