Modify table caption

Captions are assigned based on output type.

• gt::gt(caption=)

• flextable::set_caption(caption=)

• huxtable::set_caption(value=)

• knitr::kable(caption=)

modify_caption(x, caption, text_interpret = c("md", "html"))

Arguments

x

(gtsummary)
A gtsummary object

caption

(string/character)
A string for the table caption/title. NOTE: The gt print engine supports a vector of captions. But not every print engine supports this feature, and for those outputs, only a string is accepted.

text_interpret

(string)
String indicates whether text will be interpreted with gt::md() or gt::html(). Must be "md" (default) or "html". Applies to tables printed with {gt}.

Value

Updated gtsummary object
