A function to display tables in reports.
Arguments
- table
the data frame to show in a table, or a vector for a list
- colwidths
set column widths as a vector of px (number > 1) or percent (numbers <= 1)
- maxrows
if the table has more rows than this, paginate (full report, with a menu to show more rows per page, or all) or show a scrollbar sized to approximately this many rows (simple report)
- escape
whether or not to escape the table (necessary if using raw html)
Details
When report_type() is "simple", "simple_brief" or "checklist",
this renders a plain static HTML table (via knitr::kable()) in a CSS-only scrollable
box instead of a
DT::datatable() widget – no JavaScript at all, so the report stays safe
to email. Every row is kept and reachable by scrolling (just like the full
report's paginated widget, just without the JS), except for a pathologically
large table, which is truncated to .report_table_simple_max_rows rows with
a note, so one huge table cannot make the report unboundedly large.
