A theme is a function which applies a collection of transformations to a tinytable object. Whereas the other tinytable functions such as format_tt() and style_tt() aim to be output-agnostic, themes can be output-specific, only applying to LaTeX, HTML, or Typst, as needed.
Each theme can have specific arguments, which are passed to the theme_tt() function. See the "Arguments" section below.
Usage
theme_tt(x, theme, ...)
Arguments
x
A tinytable object
theme
String. Name of the theme to apply. One of:
"bootstrap": Similar appearance to the default Bootstrap theme in HTML
"grid": Vertical and horizontal rules around each cell.
"multipage": Long tables continue on the next page (LaTeX only)
"placement": Position of the table environment (LaTeX)
"rotate": Rotate a LaTeX or Typst table.
"resize": Scale a LaTeX tinytable to fit the width argument.
"spacing": Draw more compact or airy tables.
"striped": Grey stripes on alternating rows
"tabular": Remove table environment (LaTeX) or Javascript/CSS (HTML)
"void": No rules
…
Additional arguments passed the themeing function. See the "Arguments" section below for a list of supported arguments for each theme.
Value
A modified tinytable object
Arguments
multipage
rowhead: Non-negative integer. The number of header rows to repeat on each page.
Set globally with options(“tinytable_theme_multipage_rowhead” = 1L)
rowfoot: Non-negative integer. The number of footer rows to repeat on each page.
Set globally with options(“tinytable_theme_multipage_rowfoot” = 1L)
tabular
style:
"tabular": Drop all LaTeX dependencies and floating environments, except \begin{tabular}
"tabularray": Drop all LaTeX dependencies and floating environments, except \begin{tblr}
Set globally with options(“tinytable_theme_tabular_style” = “tblr”)
placement
horizontal (Typst only): "l", "c", or "r" to align the table horizontally in the page.
Set globally with options(“tinytable_theme_placement_horizontal” = “l”)
latex_float: String to insert in square brackets after the LaTeX table environment, ex: "H", "htbp". The default value is controlled by a global option:
Set globally with options(“tinytable_theme_placement_latex_float” = “H”)
resize
width: A numeric value between 0.01 and 1, representing the proportion of the line width to use
Set globally with options(“tinytable_theme_resize_width” = 0.9)
direction: "down", "up", "both" A string indicating if the table should be scaled in one direction. For example, "down" will only resize the table if it exceeds
Set globally with options(“tinytable_theme_resize_direction” = “down”)
rotate
angle: Angle of the rotation. For example, ’angle=90“ applies a half counter-clockwise turn.
Caveats:
LaTeX and Typst only.
Typst: In Quarto documents, rotation does not work because Quarto takes over the figure environment.
LaTeX: In Quarto documents, captions must be specified using the caption argument in tt() rather than via Quarto chunk options.
