I wish to knit an html file from an R Notebook that contains paged tables with hyperlinks.
Hyperlinks can be inserted using knitr::kable
, but I can\'t find
Since there doesn't seem to be a perfect solution to my problem, I thought I'd post the workaround that I came up with - in case someone has a similar problem.
I created the table plus hyperlinks with knitr::kable
and then added an html button and inline javascript to toggle visibility - not as elegant as a paged table, but does the job.
Note the <script>
tag at the bottom of the file that hides tables by default.
(Paste code into an .Rmd file in RStudio):
---
title: "Managing large tables with hyperlinks in html notebook"
output:
html_notebook:
code_folding: "hide"
---
<script>
function myFunction(id) {
var x = document.getElementById(id);
if (x.style.display === 'none') {
x.style.display = 'block';
} else {
x.style.display = 'none';
}
}
</script>
```{r}
library(knitr)
df1 <- data.frame(Month=month.name, Link=paste0("[", month.name, "](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/", month.name, ")"))
```
<button class="button" onclick="myFunction('DIV_months')">Show/hide table</button>
<div id="DIV_months" class="div_default_hide">
```{r}
knitr::kable(df1)
```
</div>
<script>
var divsToHide = document.getElementsByClassName("div_default_hide");
for(var i = 0; i < divsToHide.length; i++)
{
divsToHide[i].style.display = 'none';
}
</script>
