In this post, I will show you some of my best practises for formatting tables in R Markdown. We will cover
How to generally format tables (font, size, color... )
How to create tables with conditional formating (e.g. coloring values < 0 red)
The basics: the R package kableExtra kableExtra is an awesome package that allows you to format and style your tables. It works similar to ggplot2: You create a base table and then add formating layers with the pipe operator %>%.
I write this blogpost for someone, who has never worked with R Markdown. After you read this post, you will
understand why R Markdown may be useful for your daily work as a student, researcher, analyst or data scientist.
