captioning in bookdown::tufte_book2 #291

Closed tormodb closed 7 years ago

tormodb commented 7 years ago

Thanks for this great package!

I realize that this is a pretty particular request. I am writing reports using bookdown::tufte_book2 format. When using knitr::kable for producing tables, the caption is put in a marginnote/sidenote according to the tufte style. However, kable tables are very limited, and I have been relying on pander::pandoc.table to split long cells and all the other table options that pander provides. I am even able to use bookdown cross-referencing by inserting "(\#tab:label)" as a prefix for the caption. The last piece of the puzzle missing is that pandoc.table puts the caption in the main column of the document, and not in the marginnote. Is this possible to achieve? Can I use the caption function of knitr::kable in pandoc.table?

As far as I know, the caption format in markdown is pretty standard, so not sure what might be the difference between kable and pander there, but happy to look into it. Can you please provide a minimal example on the problem eg including a kable and pander table in the bookdown::tufte_book2 format?

Thanks for the prompt reply. The following two attachments reproduce the issue (the .rmd.txt file must be changed to .rmd in order to run, but .rmd files were not supported as attachment.)

I'm on mobile so cannot test right now, but the stylesheets used in the two tables seems to be different as well, which suggests it might be due to the different default markdown format used. That'd be a bit strange though, but can you pls test pander with style = "rmarkdown"?
