Produce a table spanning multiple pages using kable()

Question

I would like to produce a table that spans over multiple pages using kable(). I know this is possible using xtable() with the \"longtable\" option, but I need kable() for ot

Answer 1

You can try to use the kableExtra package. If you specify hold_position in kable_styling, you should be able to ping the table to the place you want.

Also, in the current dev version, I introduced a new feature called repeat_header for longtable to repeat the header row on every page. You can check it out.

kable(output, "latex", booktabs = TRUE, longtable = TRUE, caption = "Test") %>%
  kable_styling(latex_options = c("hold_position", "repeat_header"))
