Tables made with gtsummary

[klh281]

Thank you for the fantastic extension!

I'd like to include tables made with gtsummary. They don't seem to work properly using the method described in the instructions (i.e., with flextable) -- however, I am trying a work around.

I created a table in another file, then used gtsave to save it as a .png file:

table2 <- 
  mod3 |> tbl_regression(intercept = TRUE) |> 
  modify_header(update = list(label ~ "**Term**", estimate ~ "**Estimate**")) |>
  as_gt() |>
  # tab_header(
  #   title = md("**Table 2**"),
  #   subtitle = md("*Regression estimates and 95% confidence intervals for Model 3*")
  # ) |>
  tab_style(
    style = list(
      cell_text(
        align = "left"
      )
    ),
    locations = list(
      cells_title(groups = "title"),
      cells_title(groups = "subtitle")
    )
  ) |>
  tab_style(
    style = list(
      cell_borders(sides = "top", color = "white", weight = px(2))
    ),
    locations = list(
      cells_title(groups = "title")
    )
  ) |>
  tab_options(table.font.names = "Times New Roman")

table2 |> gtsave("table2.png")

# I'm blocking out the titles since they will be added in the manuscript file.

Then, when creating the manuscript using apaquarto -- I can include the table as follows:

#| apa-cap: Regression estimates and 95% confidence intervals for Model 3
#| apa-note: 
#| ft.align: left

knitr::include_graphics(here::here("programs", "table2.png"))

This approach works well when rendered to .docx -- but will not render to a pdf. For the latter, I get the following error:

compilation failed- error LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.

Without the table, the pdf renders just fine.

Do you know of a solution?

Many thanks, Kimberly

When I tried it, the code inserted a figure inside a table, and latex became confused. Here is a workaround. After creating the table2.png in a plain R code chunk (i.e., no image caption and no apatb label prefix), create an asis code chunk like so:

```{asis}
#| label: apatb-mytable
#| apa-cap: My table caption
#| echo: true

![](table2.png){width=6.5in height=4in}

You may have to adjust the size of the image, the caption, the chunk label, and the folder location of the image.
