This release brings a number of improvements for tables.
Overview
- It is now easy to add download links to table captions (see below).
- Revised the way in which table captions are generated to improve
their appearance.
Table downloads
It is now possible to easily add a download link to table captions, similar
to the way figure captions offer a download of the PDF figure. To use this
feature, pass the R object that should be made available for download
to the download chunk option. This will save the object to a file and add
a corresponding download link to the table caption. If the R object is
a data.frame (or can be coerced to one) its contents will be saved as
a text file. All other objects are saved to RData files.
