Set the table caption

By default, captions are displayed above the table. You can change this with caption_pos().

caption(ht)

caption(ht) <- value

set_caption(ht, value)

Arguments

ht

A huxtable.

value

A string. Set to NA to reset to the default, which is NA_character_.

Value

property() returns the property value(s). set_property() and map_property() return the modified huxtable.

Details

Captions are not escaped. See the example for a workaround.
