v0.11.1

Breaking changes

• The extract_body() function now, by default, will not display columns that have been hidden (e.g., by cols_hide() or cols_merge*()); the previous behavior can be restored by using incl_hidden_cols = TRUE.

Improvements to the LaTeX output format

• PDF output now defaults to a full-width floating environment using tabular*. Float position can be controlled by the latex.tbl.pos argument in tab_options. Quarto users can alternatively use the tbl-pos argument to control positioning. To use a longtable environment instead, use tab_option(latex.use_longtable = TRUE). (@AronGullickson, #1588)

• Creating a caption with tab_caption() will now be preserved in LaTeX output with as_latex(). Cross-referencing a table using the internal cross-referencing system of bookdown is now enabled for PDF and HTML outputs (for HTML, set options("htmltools.preserve.raw" = FALSE)). Quarto users should use the tbl-cap and label cell options. (@nielsbock, #1800)

• Improved the centering of the stubhead label in Latex when row_group_as_column = TRUE and the width of the row name column is specified. (@kbrevoort, #1804)

• LaTeX now correctly renders if text size is changed (#1885). (@olivroy, #1899)

• Fixed a bug that caused an error in LaTeX when (1) row_group_as_column = TRUE, (2) the row groups were specified using tab_row_group(), and (3) the user specified a width for the row label column. (@kbrevoort, #1804)

• Fixed an issue where column widths weren't set properly using col_widths() for LaTeX output (#1837). (@snhansen, #1867)

Interactive table support

• Interactive tables will show no border if opt_table_lines(extent = "none") is specified (#1307).

• Interactive tables now respect more styling options, namely: column_labels.background.color, row_group.background.color, row_group.font.weight, table_body.hlines.style, table.font.weight, table.font.size, and stub.font.weight. (#1693)

• opt_interactive() now works when columns are merged with cols_merge(). (@olivroy, #1785)

• opt_interactive() now works when columns are substituted with sub_*(). (@olivroy, #1759)

• More support for cells_stubhead() styling and footnotes in interactive tables.

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• New arguments have been added to extract_body() to better control which columns will be present in the returned data (#1875). (#1889)

• The locale argument of gt() now defaults to getOption("gt.locale") if set. (#1894)

• The optional argument levels was added to cells_column_spanners() to constrain targeting of column spanners by their level. (@obsaditelnost, #1858)

• Fixed a bug in using pct() column widths with as_gtable() (#1771). (@teunbrand, #1776)

• Fixed a bug where gt(row_group_as_column = TRUE) would create the wrong layout with as_gtable() when all groups are unique. (@olivroy, #1803)

• Showing currency symbols in grid output now works. (@olivroy, #1788)

• data_color() no longer errors when a tidyselect selection is empty (like fmt_*() functions) (#1665). (@olivroy, #1795)

• Fixed an issue when using text_case_match(.replace = "all", .locations = cells_column_spanners()). (@olivroy, #1823)

• Improved performance during footnote rendering. (@olivroy, #1818)

• Improved footnote rendering in Quarto with fmt_markdown() (#1773). (@olivroy, #1860)

• Fixed an issue where md("") would fail in Quarto (#1769). (@olivroy, #1772)

• Fixed a bug where spanners didn't render correctly in Quarto (#1839). (#1856)

• vec_fmt_markdown() works correctly inside Quarto again (#1840). (@olivroy, #1841)

• Fixed an issue where tab_spanner_delim() would fail to resolve a duplicate ID value. (@olivroy, #1821)

• Fixed an issue with multiple text_replace() calls would produce bad results with cells_column_labels(). (@olivroy, #1824)

• cols_add() works correctly in more cases. (#1893)

• tab_footnote() now correctly adds footnote marks in the cells_stub_summary() and cells_stub_grand_summary() locations (#1832). (@olivroy, #1833)

• tidyselect::where(), tidyselect::all_of(), and tidyselect::any_of() are now re-exported by gt. (#1830)

• Fixed an issue where md() and fmt_markdown() would render factors as their numeric levels rather than their text labels (#1882). (@rossellhayes, #1883)

• vec_fmt_*() (and incidentally cols_nanoplot()) should be faster now. (@olivroy, #1888, #1891, #1896, #1901)

• Improved error messages for the text_transform() function if locations couldn't be resolved. (@olivroy, #1774)

• tab_row_group() gives a more precise error message when rows can't be resolved correctly (#1535). (@olivroy, #1770)
