Quickly print objects to a PDF, TeX, HTML, Microsoft Office or RTF document

These functions use huxtable to print objects to an output document. They are useful as one-liners for data reporting.

quick_latex(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.tex"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_pdf(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.pdf"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive(),
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL
)

quick_html(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.html"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_docx(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.docx"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_pptx(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.pptx"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_xlsx(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.xlsx"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_rtf(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.rtf"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

Arguments

...: One or more huxtables or R objects with an as_huxtable method.
file: File path for the output.
borders: Border width for members of ... that are not huxtables.
open: Logical. Automatically open the resulting file?
width: String passed to the LaTeX geometry package"s paperwidth option. Use NULL for the default width.
height: String passed to geometry"s paperheight option. Use NULL for the default height.

Value

Invisible NULL.

Details

Objects in ... will be converted to huxtables, with borders added.

If ‘file’ is not specified, the command will fail in non-interactive sessions. In interactive sessions, the default file path is "huxtable-output.xxx" in the working directory; if this already exists, you will be asked to confirm manually before proceeding.

To create docx and pptx files flextable and officer must be installed, while xlsx needs openxlsx.
