Determine current knitr table format

Determines the current knitr table format based on the R option knitr.table.format which can either be set directly to a valid format string or to a function returning one of these strings conditionally.

Usage

knitr_table_format(default = c("pipe", "simple", "html", "latex", "rst"))

Arguments

default

knitr table format to fall back to when the R option knitr.table.format is not set. One of

• "pipe"

• "simple"

• "html"

• "latex"

• "rst"

See knitr::kable()'s format argument for details.

Value

A character scalar.

Details

This is basically a convenience wrapper to be able to access the current knitr.table.format in a hassle-free way, i.e. it provides the conditional logic to account for the possibility that knitr.table.format is set to a function rather than a format string.
